Shine On You Crazy Diamond, (part One) Lyrics - Pink Floyd

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

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.
