Let's go on vacation You and I know We're both so busy we work so hard and I never see you, it's totally retarded When we're together, we're both so tired Sometimes I wish we'd just get our asses fired Cuz that way, you and me, we could hang out all day

Now the kids are growing up so fast We don't know what it's for but You know it's never going to last These are different times that we're living in We'll be soldiers for you, mommy and daddy We're soldiers now in the culture war We're soldiers now, but

Shine on you crazy diamond Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom Blown on the steel breeze Come on you target for

Mass hysteria, mass hysteria We ride a dying star Across a burning sea We’re like a supernova now The fire is burning in me With day to day Shock waves shatter me I don't beg in security Get up and don’t look back now

Shine on, you crazy diamond Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun. Now there's a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky You were caught in the crossfire Of childhood and stardom, Blown on the steel breeze Come on you target

I know it can't be right When Lenin was little All the birds in the forest were singing 'Man, this is it!' But now that he's older All the sailors in the heaver are screamin "Abandon Ship" But I just smile instead Of repeating what I said

When we were on fire, fire Out cold on the floor, like a fallen star that shines no more Take, take me back to where it was before Now I know, I know we're losing light, our love is dying We were on fire, fire Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you

When we were on fire, fire Out cold on the floor, like a fallen star that shines no more Take, take me back to where it was before Now I know, I know we're losing light, our love is dying We were on fire, fire Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you

Said your name in an empty room Toute ma vie, etre avec toi Something I would never do I'm alone again When I'm by myself I can be myself Well my life is coming But, I don't know when You were burning now you’re black and gray

Ashes blowin' in the air I was on fire but we don't care, yeah Wasted youth, always on the road Never looking back, and we're never getting old 'Cause the skies are black, but our heart's made of gold Fuck doing what you're told We're going nowhere fast
