Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross-fire of childhood and
stardom, blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you
stranger, you legend, you matyr, 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 to 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
What did you dream?
It's alright, we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar
He always ate in he Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine
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 sell out
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 hell of a 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
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes fro
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 we found? The same old
fears
Wish you were here.
Come on you boy-child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine
