Crazy Diamond in the Sky
Flying so high, I was a crazy diamond in the sky
Nearing the end of July
I wish I could hypothesize
the fear in the eyes, of yours and mine
The future told... I lay motionless,
voltage moved me like a lightning bolt
A half mile high, I opened an eye
spinning momentum, still tingling from high
mirrored by the devil's eye
yet instantly, another burning in my veins
I wished to feel the earth beneath me
and not by my side
Flying so high, I was a crazy diamond in the sky
Meanwhile, the media grabbed my hand
and said lets go for a ride
down the highway of regrets
we'll twist your character
and mutilate your reputation
only for the news to lie
your story never to be told... just die
Flying so high, I was a crazy diamond in the sky
A defect of society, made to take the blame...
burdened of living in shame
just to keep normality at the top of their game
"Crazy Diamond," are our names
Flying so high, I was a crazy diamond in the sky
Consciousness arrived, only to my surprise
with tiny men bearing golden badges
wearing their souls on their face
making me realize, I was all tangled up in blue
and to them, any life is a waste
without having their crispy cream taste
The north shore, my following destination
I was caged with no hesitation
positively 4th street was a solid realization
the night was dark, with screaming from across the hall
when asked my name
I stated that I couldn't recall
Flying so high, I was a crazy diamond in the sky
A week went by and my visit was spent
thrown from car to car
like a prostituted rag doll
arriving with confusion not content
and failed repression of the total recall of events
A story of a hay wagon left a comforting impression
to my discomfort, it would lesson
Flying so high, I was a crazy diamond in the sky
I lay on the floor for all to see
propped up on a chair, pitying their hypocrisy
the lady on high
lacking the tiniest of personality
pointing her finger at me
I'm positive she'd endured a lobotomy
no ma'am, I would rather not
eat that stack of paper all bound in leather
your henchmen have already left scars on my body
that will never weather
I will go down in history flying so high... a crazy diamond in the sky
