Remember when you were young
you shone like the sun
shine on you cr - a - zy diamond
now there s I look in your eyes
like black holes in the sky
shine on you cr - a - zy diamond
You were caught in a 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 cr - a - zy diamond
threatened by shadows at night
and exposed in the light
shine on you cr - a - zy diamond
well you wore out your welcome with
random precision
rode on the steel breeze
come on you raver you see off vision
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner
and shine
Nobody knows where you are,
how near or how far
shine on you cr - a - zy diamond
Pile on many more layers
and I'll be joining you be there.
shine on you cr - a - zy 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
