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 (shine on), you crazy diamond (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
