Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-IX)
Remember when you were youngYou shone like the sunShine on you crazy diamondNow there's a look in your eyesLike black holes in the skyShine on you crazy diamondYou were caught on the crossfireOf childhood and stardomBlown on the steel breezeCome on you target for faraway laughterCome on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine
You reached for the secret too soonYou cried for the moonShine on you crazy diamondThreatened by shadows at night,And exposed in the light.Shine on you crazy diamond.Well you wore out your welcomeWith 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!
Nobody knows where you are,How near or how far.Shine on you crazy diamond.Pile on many more layersAnd I'll be joining you there.Shine on you crazy diamond.And we'll bask in the shadowOf yesterday's triumph,And sail on the steel breeze.Come on you boy child,You winner and loser,Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
