Remember when you were young, you shine like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the
Steel breeze. [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 your [bad word] with random precision, rode on the
Steel breeze. [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
And 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 !
