Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
The Beatles
Written by John Lennon\/Paul McCartney

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, and she’s gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Ev’ryone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, and you’re gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With Plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Ah

\u201cI had no idea it spelt LSD. This is the truth: my son came home with a drawing and showed me this strange-looking woman flying around. I said, \u2018What is it?\u2019 and he said, \u2018It\u2019s Lucy in the sky with diamonds,\u2019 and I thought, \u2018That\u2019s beautiful.\u2019 I immediately wrote a song about it.\u201d - John Lennon<\/kbd><\/p>\n\n\n\n
