Remember when you were young
You shone like the Sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond !
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond !
You were caught on the cross fire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel [bad word] on, you target for faraway [bad word] on, you stranger, you legend, you martyr
And shine !

You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the Moon.
Shine on, you crazy diamond !
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond !
Well you wore out you [bad word] With random precision
Rode on the steel [bad word] on, you raver, you seer of [bad word] on, you painter,you piper, you prisoner
And shine!

Nobody knows where you are
 How near or how far
 Shine on you crazy diamond
 Pile on many more layers
 And I'll be joining you there
 Shine on you crazy diamond
 And we'll bask in the shadow
 Of yesterday's triumph
 Sail on the steel breeze [bad word] on you boy child
 You winner and loser [bad word] on you miner for [bad word] and delusion
 And shine
