Shine On You Crazy Diamond Lyrics - Clawfinger

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 on 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! 

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, 

Sail on the steel breeze 

Come on, you boy child, 

You winner and loser, 

Come on, you miner 

For truth and delusion, and shine!
