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!
Welcome my son Welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been You've been in the pipeline, filling in time Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys' You bought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school And you know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son Welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's all right, we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar You're gonna go far You're gonna go fly high You're never gonna die You're gonna make it if you try They're gonna love you
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it "Riding the Gravy Train"
We're just knocked out We heard about the sellout You gotta get an album out You owe it to the people We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green Have you seen the chart? It's a helluva start It could be made into a monster if we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it "Riding the Gravy Train"
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have you found? The same old fears Wish you were here
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
