[Instrumental]
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!
[Instrumental]
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!
[Instrumental]

I'm on your side
03:06
|
|

I'm on your team
But I never know when you're not
You never wear shoes without your socks
You never tell anything to me
I'm on your side
But only for a while of course
You never use words you can't afford
A house of cards and it's a sign
So wait up!
You never get nervous anymore
So wait up!
You never get nervous anymore
What did you want me to say?
Hey!
What did you want me to do?
What did you want me to say?
Inside the lines
Gotta catch 'em in a paper cup
You never know when to change your luck
The sum of everything you like
I'm on your side
So introduce me to your friends
With the music and the lights and everything
So wait up!
You never get nervous anymore
So wait up!
You never get nervous anymore
What did you want me to say?
Hey!
What did you want me to do?
What did you want me to say?
It's only on the weekends
Only on the television screens
Always with your girlfriends
Always with the conversations
Making up for lost time
Making it with me
Wait up!
You never get nervous anymore
So wait up!
You never get nervous anymore
What did you want me to say?
Hey!
What did you want me to do?
What did you want me to say?

Find out that I'm gone
02:30
|
|

Baby, you know me well
You know, I mean what I say
Before I say farewell
I'll give you one more day so you can
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening,
You're gonna find out that I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)
Tell me what you're gonna do,
You better make up your mind
It all depends on you or I'm leaving you behind
You'd better find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening,
You're gonna find out that I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)
Baby you know it's true, we've been through thick and thin
But if you don't come through, you won't ever see me again
You'd better find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening before long
If you don't find out what's happening,
You're gonna find your daddy gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening,
Find out what's happening

I loved and lost you
05:11
|
|

I know you've been hurt
By someone else
I can tell by the way
You carry yourself
But if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I, I loved and lost
The same as you
So you see I know
Just what you've been through
And if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I just have got to take care of you
You won't ever have to worry
You don't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So darlin' tell me
That you'll be true
There's no doubt in my mind
I know what I want to do
And just as sure
One and one is two
I just got, I got to take care of you
I just got to take care of you
Take care of you
Oh, yeeah...

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
For ever and ever

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies you heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true, and never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say to make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late, and I'm alone with you
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woahhh...

We are two lost souls
05:23
|
|

"-and disciplinary remains mercifully."
"Yes and um, I’m with you Derek, this star nonsense"
"Yes, yes, now which is it?"
"I am sure of it."
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?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? 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 fishbowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here

[Instrumental]
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!
[Instrumental]

We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
Where the fuck are you at Spence? Pick up the phone
You haven't called back since- I'm feeling alone
You got a girl now? Forgetting your close friends?
Feeling hopeless, just so you know this
I'm 'bout to dose benzos through dead cold
Bent over the bed, no (ugh), nevermind that, bro
Tipsy over the edge, yo, my chest needs a less load
Depressed, not knowing what's next, so
I keep smoking, I know soon I'll have a heart attack
The last cancer stick, that crushed the camel's back
And now I'm drinking and drivin', tears fillin' my eyes
I should crash under these Vanilla Skies
Concealing these feelings but it's killing myself
You were always one of the few willing to help
But lately you don't respond when I hit up your cell
My tank needs a fill-up stranded in the pits of this hell
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
Seven missed calls, please stop hittin' this cell
All this dude does is complain, it's giving me hell
I know sometimes he's trapped and he's feeling in jail
But that don't mean he gotta bring me to that prison as well
Oh, another call? Now, I'm truly just pissed
Decline, decline, decline, you're stupid as shit
We were supposed to be there for the fans, make music I think
But when we hang, all you do is just drink
You got me chain smoking as I ruin my health
Want to give up on music, not even do it myself
Sick of leading this life, best friend's seein' a dead end
To get a piece of the pie, the key is bein' a legend
But all he sees is depression so I'm guessing it's over
If you admire Em' so much, then why ain't you gettin' sober?
It's time to clean out the closet and act like a soldier
Fuck it, whatever, I'm comin' over
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
Spencer! Dammit! (phone dialing)
Pick up the phone man!
C'mon please, pick up the phone
I can't take this shit no more man, please
Yo, just answer this one time, bro
(answering machine picks up)
FUCK! Can't take this shit no more...
(Beeeeep!)
Really? Another voicemail you sent me to
I guess this is my goodbye, I'ma end it too
I can't stop thinkin' about the bitter truth
I hate this rap shit now, Spence, it's pitiful
I quit it through, finished, done, I'm miserable
Reached my wits end, fuck the world, diggin' through
Cause no one appreciates the time I've thrown in this
I'm getting too old for rejection so I blow a kiss
Eminem, Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers
You bit his style, his life, mimic his mannerisms
Listen I don't think you understand your physics
Can this get a hold of you and your image
I'm so sick and tired of being judged
Being such a great rapper is depleting love
And I don't have the passion or even feel the rush
To write a song for the world so I'm giving up
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
