      2_5. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (part 2)




Remember when you were young
You shine like a sun                    shine on...
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky             shine on...
You were caught on the cross fire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you tagret for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine!
        You reache for the secret too soon
        You cried for the moon          shine on...
        Threatened by shadows a night
        And exposed in the light        shine on...
        Well you wore out your welcome
        With random precision
        Rope 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
  Fillin in time
  Provided this toys
  And "Scoutin for Boys"
  You boght a guitar
  And punish your ma
  And you don't like school
  You know you're nobody fool
  So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
  What did you dream?
  It's alright we told you what to dream
  You dreamed a big star
  He played a mean guitar
  He always ate in the steak bar
  He loved to drive his jaguar
  So welcome to the machine




Come on here dear boy have a cigar
You've gonna go far, 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 a most sincerely
The band it's just fantastic
That is really what I think
On, by the way, which one's pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game boy
We call it ridin the gravy train
We're just knocked out
We heard about the sell out
You gonna get an album out
You owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Have 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 ridin 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 cage?
  How I wish how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimmin in a fish bowl
Year after year
Runnin over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears?
  Wish you were here




Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far                     shine on...
Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joinin you there            shine on...
And we 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!
