Lucy In the Skies with Diamonds

"Lucy in the Skies with Diamonds" from Sgt Pepper's was the most controversial pyschedelic song the Beatles had ever recorded. John Lennon would want the world to believe that its title was not drug related (LSD) but from his son. Julian's art work. However, the lyrics, on deeper reflection and reading was a 'bad acid trip'

Lyrics of Lucy In the Skies with Diamonds

{VERSE 1}
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.

{CHORUS}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah... Ah...

{VERSE 2}
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone 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.

{CHORUS}

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.

{CHORUS}

{CHORUS FADEING}
