Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun,
shine on you cra.....zy diamond !
Now there s a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky,
shine on you cra.....zy diamond !
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
and 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 cra.......zy diamond!
Threatened by shadows at night, exposed in the light,
shine on you cra.......zy diamond!
Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision,
you 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 and how far.
shine on you cra.....zy diamond !
Pile on layer on layer, I ll be joining you there,
shine on you cra.....zy diamond !
And we ll bask in the shadow of yesterday s triumph,
we ll sail on the steel breeze,
come on, you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on, you miner for truth and delusion, and shine.
