SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
[PARTS 1 - 5]
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
You reached for
The secret
Too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on
You crazy
Diamond
Threatened by
Shadows at night
Exposed in the light
Shine on
- You
- You crazy
- Crazy diamond
- 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
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
Sail on
The steel breeze
Come on
You boy child
You winner
And loser
Come on
You miner
For truth
And delusion
And shine
LEARNING TO FLY
Into the distance
A ribbon of black
Stretched to the point
Of no turning back
A flight of fancy
On a windswept field
Standing alone
My senses real
A fatal attraction
Is holding me fast
How
Can I escape
This irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes
From the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted
Just an earth
Bound misfit
I
Ice is forming
On the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings
I thought I thought
Of everything
No navigator
To find my way home
Unladened empty
Turned to stone
A soul in tension
Is learning to fly
Condition grounded
But determined to try
Can't keep my eyes
From the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted
Just an earth
Bound misfit
I
Above the planet
On a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo
A vapour trail
In the empty air
Above the clouds
I see
My shadow fly
Out of the corner
Of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened
By the morning light
Could blow this soul right
Through the roof
Of the night
There's no sensation
To compare with this
Suspended animation
A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind
From the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth
Bound misfit
I
HIGH HOPES
Beyond the horizon
Of the place we lived
When we were young
In a world of
Magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly
And without boundary
The ringing of the
Division bell
Had began
Along the long road
And on down
The causeway
Do they still meet
There by the cut?
There was a ragged band
That followed in our footsteps
Running before time
Took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures
Trying to tie
Us to the ground
To a life consumed
By slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers
The bridges glowing
Behind us
To a glimpse of how green
It was on the other side
Steps taken forwards
But sleep-walking back again
Dragged by the force
Of some inner tide
At a higher altitude
With flag unfurled
We reached
The dizzy heights
Of that dreamed of world
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
Forever and ever
TAKE IT BACK
Her love rains
Down on me
Easy as the breeze
I listen to her breathing
it sounds like
The waves on the sea
I was thinking
All about her
Burning with rage
And desire
We were spinning
Into darkness
And the earth
Was on fire
She could
Take it back
She might
Take it back
Some day
So I spy on her
I lied to her
I make promises
I cannot keep
Then I hear her
Laughter rising
Rising from the deep
And I make her prove
Her love to me
I take all
That I can take
And I push her
To the limit
To see
If she will break
She might
Take it back
She could
Take it back
Some day
Now I had seen
The warnings
Screaming
From all sides
It's easy to
Ignore them
God knows
I've tried
All of this temptation
you know it turned
My faith to lies
Until I couldn't
See the danger
Or feel
The rising tide
She Can
Take it back
She could
Take it back
Some day
She can
Take it back
She will
Take it back
Some day
She will
Take it back
She will
Take it back
Some day
COMING BACK TO LIFE
Where were you
when I was burned
And broken
While the days slipped by
from my window
Watching
And Where were you?
When I was hurt
And I was helpless
Because the things you say
And the things you do
Surround me
While you were
Hanging yourself
On someone else's words
Dying to believe
In what you heard
I was staring straight
into the shining sun
Lost
In thought
And lost in time
While the seeds of life
And the seeds of change
Were planted
Outside
The rain
Fell dark and slow
While I pondered on
This dangerous
But irresistible
Past-time
I took a heavenly
Ride through our silence
I knew the
Moment had
Arrived
For killing the past
And coming back to life
I took a heavenly
Ride trough our silence
I knew the waiting
Had begun
And headed straight
Into the shining sun
SORROW
The sweet smell
Of a great sorrow
Lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise
Merge into the
Leaden sky
A man lies and dreams
Of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning
With no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory
Of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream
He can't be precise
He's chained forever
To a world that's departed
It's not enough
It's not enough
His blood has frozen
And curdled with fright
His knees have trembled
And given way in the night
His hand has weakened
At the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world
One soul
Time pass
The river rolls
And he talks to the river
Of lost love and dedication
And silent replies
That swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled
To an oily sea
A grim intimation
Of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind
That blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes
That blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so
Much louder that words
Of promises broken
KEEP TALKING
For millions of years
Mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened
Which unleashed the power
Of our imagination
We learned to talk
There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one will bother me
I think I should speak now
Why won't you talk to me?
I can't seem to speak now
You never talk to me
My words won't come out right
What are you thinking?
I feel like I'm drowning
What are you feeling?
I'm feeling weak now
Why won't you talk to me?
But I can't show my weakness
You never talk to me
I sometimes wonder
What are you thinking?
Where do we go from here
What are you feeling?
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do
Is make sure we keep talking
Why won't you talk to me?
I feel like I'm drowning
You never talk to me
You know I can't breathe now
What are you thinking?
We're going nowhere
What are you feeling?
We're going nowhere
Why won't you talk to me?
You never talk to me
What are you thinking?
Where do we go from here?
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do
Is make sure we keep talking
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL [PART 2]
We don't need
No education
We don’t need
No thought control
No dark sarcasm
In the classroom
Teachers leave
Them kids alone
Hey!
Teacher!
Leave them
Kids alone!
All in all
You're just
Another brick
In the wall
All in all
You're just
Another brick
In the wall
We don't need
No education
We don’t need
No thought control
No dark sarcasm
In the classroom
Teacher leave
Them kids alone
Hey!
Teacher!
Leave them
Kids alone!
All in all
You're just
Another brick
In the wall
All in all
You're just
Another brick
In the wall
ONE OF THESE DAYS
One of these days
I'm going to cut
You into little pieces
THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
[THE ENTIRE ALBUM]
SPEAK TO ME
I've been mad for fucking years
Absolutely years
I've been over the edge for yonks
Been working with bands so long
I think Crikey
I've been mad for fucking years
Absolutely years
I've been over the edge for yonks
Been working with bands so long
I think Crikey
I've always been mad
I know I've been mad
Like the most of us have
Very hard to explain Why you're mad
Even if you're not mad
I've always been mad
I know I've been mad
Like the most of us have
Very hard to explain why you're mad
Even if you're not mad
- I've always been mad
- I've been mad
- I know I've been mad
- for fucking years
Absolutely years
I've been over the edge for yonks
- Very hard to explain why you're mad
- Been working with bands
- Even if you're not mad
- so long, I think Crikey
I've always been mad
I know I've been mad
Very hard to explain why you're mad
BREATHE
Breathe
Breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave
But don't leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live
And high you fly
The smiles you'll give
And tears you'll cry
All you touch
And all you see
Is all your life
Will ever be
Run
Rabbit run
Dig that hole
Forget the sun
And when at last
The work is done
Don't sit down
It's time to dig
Another one
For long you live
And high you fly
But only if
You ride the tide
And balanced on
The biggest wave
You race towards
An early grave
ON THE RUN
Follow the green line to customs
and then to emigration
BA 215 to Rome, Cairo and Lagos
May I have your attention, please
Here is an announcement
for BOAC passengers
on BA two-one-five to
Rome, Cairo and Lagos
Don't forget your hand luggage
TIME
Ticking away
The moments
That make up a dull day
You fritter and waste
The hours
In an off-hand way
Kicking around
On a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone
Or something
To show you
The way
Tired of lying
In the sunshine
Staying home
To watch the rain
You are young
And life is long
And there is time
To kill today
And then
One day you find
Ten years
Have got
Behind you
No one told you
When to run
You missed
The starting gun
And you run
And you run
To catch up
With the sun
But it's sinking
And racing around
To come up
Behind you again
The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath
And one day
Closer to death
Every year
Is getting shorter
Never seem
To find The time
Plans that either
Come to naught
Or half a page
Of scribbled lines
Hanging on
In quiet
Desperation
Is
The English way
The time has gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something
More to say
BREATHE [REPRISE]
Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can
But when I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm
My bones
Beside the fire
Far away
Across the fields
The tolling of
The iron bell
Calls the faithful
To their knees
To hear the softly
Spoken magic spells
THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do
I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it
You've gotta go sometime
I never said I was frightened of dying
MONEY
Money
Get away
Get a good job
With more pay
And you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash
With both hands
And make a stash
New car
Caviar
Four star daydream
Think I'll buy me
A football team
Money
Get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands
Off of my stack
Money
It's a hit
Don't give me
That
Do goody good
Bullshit
I'm in the
High-fidelity
The first class
Traveling set
And I think
I need a
Lear jet
Money
It's a crime
Share it fairly
But don't take
A slice
Of my pie
Money
So they say
Is the root
Of all evil today
But if you ask
For a raise
It's no surprise that
They're giving
None away
Away
Away
Away
Away
I was in
- the right
- Away -Yes
absolutely in the right
I certainly was in the right
You was definitely in the right,
that geezer was cruising for a bruising
- Yeah
- Why does anyone do anything?
I don't know,
I was really drunk at the time
Yes, absolutely in the right
I certainly was in the right
You was definitely in the right,
that geezer was cruising for a bruising
Yeah
I was just telling him,
he couldn't get into number two
He was asking why he
wasn't coming up on freely
After I was yelling and screaming
And telling him why he
wasn't coming up on freely
It came as a heavy blow,
But we sorted the matter out
US AND THEM
Us
Us
Us
Us
And them
Them
Them
Them
Them
Them
Them
And after all
We're only
Ordinary men
Men
Men
Men
Me
Me
Me
And you
You
You
You
You
God only knows
It's not what
We would choose
Choose
Choose
To do
To do
To do
Forward he cried
From the rear
And the front
Ranks died
The general sat
And the lines
On the map
Moved from side
To side
Black
Black
Black
Black
And blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
And who knows
Which is which
And who is who
Is who
Is who
Is who
Up
Up
Up
Up
And down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
And in the end
It's only
Round and round
And round
And round
And round
And round
And round
Haven't you heard
It's a battle
Of words
The poster
Bearer cried
Listen son
Said the man
With the gun
There's room
For you
Inside
I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick
short, sharp, shock
they won't do it again, Dig it?
'cos I would've given him a Thrashing
I only hit him once,
It was only a difference of opinion
But really, I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
And out
Out
Out
Out
Out
It can't be helped
But there's a
Lot of it about
With
With
With
With
Without
And who'll deny
It's what the
Fighting's all about
About
About
About
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things
On my mind
For want
Of the price
Of a tea
And a slice
The old
Man died
ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE
BRAIN DAMAGE
The lunatic
Is on the grass
The lunatic
Is on the grass
Remembering games
And daisy chains
And laughs
Got to keep the
Loonies on the path
The lunatic
Is in the hall
The lunatics
Are in my hall
The paper holds
Their folded faces
To the floor
And every day
The paper boy
Brings more
And if the
Dam breaks
Open many
Years too soon
If there is no
Room upon
The hill
And if your
Head explodes
With dark
Forebodings too
I'll see you
On the dark side
Of the moon
The lunatic
Is in my head
The lunatic
Is in my head
You raise the blade
You make the change
You re-arrange me
'Till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away
The key
There's someone
In my head
But it's not me
And if the
Cloud bursts
Thunder in
Your ear
You shout
And no one
Seems to hear
And if the
Band you're in
Starts playing
Different tunes
I'll see you on
The dark side
Of the moon
ECLIPSE
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
And all that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
And all that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
All you create
And all you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything
Under the sun
Is in tune
but the sun
Is eclipsed
By the moon
There is no dark side
Of the moon really
Matter of fact
It's all dark
WISH YOU WERE HERE
and disciplinary remains, mercifully
Yes, yes. Now with you Derek
This star nonsense
Now which is 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
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
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
COMFORTABLY NUMB
Hello
Hello
Hello
Is there anybody
In there?
Just nod if you
Can hear me
Is there anyone
At home?
Come on
Come on
Now
I hear you're
Feeling
Down
I can ease
Your pain
Get you
On your feet again
Relax
Relax
Relax
I'll need some
Information
First
Just the
Basic facts
Can you show me
Where it hurts?
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship smoke
On the horizon
You are only coming
Through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear
What you're saying
When I was
A child
I had a fever
My hands felt
Just like
Two balloons
Now I've got
That feeling
Once again
I can't explain
You would not
Understand
This is not
How I am
I
Have become
Comfortably numb
I
Have become
Comfortably numb
OK
OK
OK
OK
Just a little
Pin prick
There'll be
No more
But you may
Feel a little
Sick
Now can you
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
I do believe
It's working
Good
That'll keep you
Going through
The show
Come on
It's time
To go
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship smoke
On the horizon
You are only coming
Through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear
What you're saying
When I
Was a child
I caught a
Fleeting glimpse
Out of
The corner
Of my eye
I turned
To look
But it
Was gone
I cannot
Put my finger
On it now
The child
Is grown
The dream
Is gone
But
I
Have become
Comfortably numb
RUN LIKE HELL
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
You better make your Face
Up In your favorite disguise
With your button-down lips
And your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising
From your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
You better
Run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty
Feelings deep inside
And if you're taking your
Girlfriend
Out tonight
You better
Park the car
Well out of sight
Cause if they catch you
In the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send
You back to Mother
In a cardboard box
You better run!
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
...Ru...
...R...

It's not enough
His blood has frozen
And curdled with fright
His knees have trembled
And given way in the night
His hand has weakened
At the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world
One soul
Time pass
The river rolls
And he talks to the river
Of lost love and dedication
And silent replies
That swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled
To an oily sea
A grim intimation
Of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind
That blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes
That blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so
Much louder that words
Of promises broken
KEEP TALKING
For millions of years
Mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened
Which unleashed the power
Of our imagination
We learned to talk
There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one will bother me
I think I should speak now
Why won't you talk to me?
I can't seem to speak now
You never talk to me
My words won't come out right
What are you thinking?
I feel like I'm drowning
What are you feeling?
I'm feeling weak now
Why won't you talk to me?
But I can't show my weakness
You never talk to me
I sometimes wonder
What are you thinking?
Where do we go from here
What are you feeling?
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do
Is make sure we keep talking
Why won't you talk to me?
I feel like I'm drowning
You never talk to me
You know I can't breathe now
What are you thinking?
We're going nowhere
What are you feeling?
We're going nowhere
Why won't you talk to me?
You never talk to me
What are you thinking?
Where do we go from here?
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do
Is make sure we keep talking
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL [PART 2]
We don't need
No education
We don’t need
No thought control
No dark sarcasm
In the classroom
Teachers leave
Them kids alone
Hey!

Kids alone!
All in all
You're just
Another brick

You're just
Another brick

No thought control
No dark sarcasm
In the classroom
Teacher leave

ONE OF THESE DAYS
One of these days
I'm going to cut
You into little pieces
THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
[THE ENTIRE ALBUM]
SPEAK TO ME
I've been mad for fucking years
Absolutely years
I've been over the edge for yonks
Been working with bands so long
I think Crikey
I've been mad for fucking years
Absolutely years
I've been over the edge for yonks
Been working with bands so long
I think Crikey
I've always been mad
I know I've been mad
Like the most of us have
Very hard to explain Why you're mad
Even if you're not mad
I've always been mad
I know I've been mad
Like the most of us have
Very hard to explain why you're mad
Even if you're not mad
- I've always been mad
- I've been mad
- I know I've been mad
- for fucking years
Absolutely years
I've been over the edge for yonks
- Very hard to explain why you're mad
- Been working with bands
- Even if you're not mad
- so long, I think Crikey
I've always been mad
I know I've been mad
Very hard to explain why you're mad
BREATHE
Breathe
Breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave
But don't leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live
And high you fly
The smiles you'll give
And tears you'll cry
All you touch
And all you see
Is all your life
Will ever be
Run
Rabbit run
Dig that hole
Forget the sun
And when at last
The work is done
Don't sit down
It's time to dig
Another one
For long you live
And high you fly
But only if
You ride the tide
And balanced on
The biggest wave
You race towards
An early grave
ON THE RUN
Follow the green line to customs
and then to emigration
BA 215 to Rome, Cairo and Lagos
May I have your attention, please
Here is an announcement
for BOAC passengers
on BA two-one-five to
Rome, Cairo and Lagos
Don't forget your hand luggage
TIME
Ticking away
The moments
That make up a dull day
You fritter and waste
The hours
In an off-hand way
Kicking around
On a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone
Or something
To show you
The way
Tired of lying
In the sunshine
Staying home
To watch the rain
You are young
And life is long
And there is time
To kill today
And then
One day you find
Ten years
Have got
Behind you
No one told you
When to run
You missed
The starting gun
And you run
And you run
To catch up
With the sun
But it's sinking
And racing around
To come up
Behind you again
The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath
And one day
Closer to death
Every year
Is getting shorter
Never seem
To find The time
Plans that either
Come to naught
Or half a page
Of scribbled lines
Hanging on
In quiet
Desperation
Is
The English way
The time has gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something
More to say
BREATHE [REPRISE]
Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can
But when I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm
My bones
Beside the fire
Far away
Across the fields
The tolling of
The iron bell
Calls the faithful
To their knees
To hear the softly
Spoken magic spells
THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do
I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it
You've gotta go sometime
I never said I was frightened of dying
MONEY
Money
Get away
Get a good job
With more pay
And you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash
With both hands
And make a stash
New car
Caviar
Four star daydream
Think I'll buy me
A football team
Money
Get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands
Off of my stack
Money
It's a hit
Don't give me
That
Do goody good
Bullshit
I'm in the
High-fidelity
The first class
Traveling set
And I think
I need a
Lear jet
Money
It's a crime
Share it fairly
But don't take
A slice
Of my pie
Money
So they say
Is the root
Of all evil today
But if you ask
For a raise
It's no surprise that
They're giving
None away
Away
Away
Away
Away
I was in
- the right
- Away -Yes
absolutely in the right
I certainly was in the right
You was definitely in the right,
that geezer was cruising for a bruising
- Yeah
- Why does anyone do anything?
I don't know,
I was really drunk at the time
Yes, absolutely in the right
I certainly was in the right
You was definitely in the right,
that geezer was cruising for a bruising
Yeah
I was just telling him,
he couldn't get into number two
He was asking why he
wasn't coming up on freely
After I was yelling and screaming
And telling him why he
wasn't coming up on freely
It came as a heavy blow,
But we sorted the matter out
US AND THEM
Us
Us
Us
Us
And them
Them
Them
Them
Them
Them
Them
And after all
We're only
Ordinary men
Men
Men
Men
Me
Me
Me
And you
You
You
You
You
God only knows
It's not what
We would choose
Choose
Choose
To do
To do
To do
Forward he cried
From the rear
And the front
Ranks died
The general sat
And the lines
On the map
Moved from side
To side
Black
Black
Black
Black
And blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
Blue
And who knows
Which is which
And who is who
Is who
Is who
Is who
Up
Up
Up
Up
And down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
And in the end
It's only
Round and round
And round
And round
And round
And round
And round
Haven't you heard
It's a battle
Of words
The poster
Bearer cried
Listen son
Said the man
With the gun
There's room
For you
Inside
I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick
short, sharp, shock
they won't do it again, Dig it?
'cos I would've given him a Thrashing
I only hit him once,
It was only a difference of opinion
But really, I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
And out
Out
Out
Out
Out
It can't be helped
But there's a
Lot of it about
With
With
With
With
Without
And who'll deny
It's what the
Fighting's all about
About
About
About
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things
On my mind
For want
Of the price
Of a tea
And a slice
The old
Man died
ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE
BRAIN DAMAGE
The lunatic
Is on the grass
The lunatic
Is on the grass
Remembering games
And daisy chains
And laughs
Got to keep the
Loonies on the path
The lunatic
Is in the hall
The lunatics
Are in my hall
The paper holds
Their folded faces
To the floor
And every day
The paper boy
Brings more
And if the
Dam breaks
Open many
Years too soon
If there is no
Room upon
The hill
And if your
Head explodes
With dark
Forebodings too
I'll see you
On the dark side
Of the moon
The lunatic
Is in my head
The lunatic
Is in my head
You raise the blade
You make the change
You re-arrange me
'Till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away
The key
There's someone
In my head
But it's not me
And if the
Cloud bursts
Thunder in
Your ear
You shout
And no one
Seems to hear
And if the
Band you're in
Starts playing
Different tunes
I'll see you on
The dark side
Of the moon
ECLIPSE
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
And all that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
And all that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
All you create
And all you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything
Under the sun
Is in tune
but the sun
Is eclipsed
By the moon
There is no dark side
Of the moon really
Matter of fact
It's all dark
WISH YOU WERE HERE
and disciplinary remains, mercifully
Yes, yes. Now with you Derek
This star nonsense
Now which is 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
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
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
COMFORTABLY NUMB
Hello
Hello
Hello
Is there anybody
In there?
Just nod if you
Can hear me
Is there anyone
At home?
Come on
Come on
Now
I hear you're
Feeling
Down
I can ease
Your pain
Get you
On your feet again
Relax
Relax
Relax
I'll need some
Information
First
Just the
Basic facts
Can you show me
Where it hurts?
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship smoke
On the horizon
You are only coming
Through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear
What you're saying
When I was
A child
I had a fever
My hands felt
Just like
Two balloons
Now I've got
That feeling
Once again
I can't explain
You would not
Understand
This is not
How I am
I
Have become
Comfortably numb
I
Have become
Comfortably numb
OK
OK
OK
OK
Just a little
Pin prick
There'll be
No more
But you may
Feel a little
Sick
Now can you
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
I do believe
It's working
Good
That'll keep you
Going through
The show
Come on
It's time
To go
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship smoke
On the horizon
You are only coming
Through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear
What you're saying
When I
Was a child
I caught a
Fleeting glimpse
Out of
The corner
Of my eye
I turned
To look
But it
Was gone
I cannot
Put my finger
On it now
The child
Is grown
The dream
Is gone
But
I
Have become
Comfortably numb
RUN LIKE HELL
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
You better make your Face
Up In your favorite disguise
With your button-down lips
And your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising
From your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
You better
Run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty
Feelings deep inside
And if you're taking your
Girlfriend
Out tonight
You better
Park the car
Well out of sight
Cause if they catch you
In the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send
You back to Mother
In a cardboard box
You better run!
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
Run
