/crazy diamond/
Remember when you were young,
Now there's a look in your eyes,
you reached for the secret too soon,
well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
[back]
(c)pillbox, 1996
?
you shone like the sun,
shine on you crazy diamond
like black sun in the sky.
shine on you crazy diamond
you were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown in the steel breeze.
come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger,
you legend,
you martyr, and shine!
you cried for the moon.
shine on you crazy diamond
threatened by shadows at night,
and exposed to the light.
shine on you crazy diamond
rode on the steel breeze.
come on you raver,
you seer of visions,
come on you painter,
you piper,
you prisoner, and shine!
