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 in the crossfire   Of childhood and stardom   Blown on the steel breeze      Come on you target for faraway laughter   Come 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 welcome   With random precision   Rode on the steel breeze      Come on you raver, you seer of visions   Come on you painter, you piper   You prisoner and shine
