Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds lyrics
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...
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 fading]
- Lucy in the sky with diamonds:
Many fans thought "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was written about the illegal drug LSD because the initials of three words spelled that out. However, John Lennon insisted he took the name of the song from the title of a drawing his son Julian made of his friend Lucy. For years, fans were skeptical about that story. However, Julian later published the drawing he made as a child. So Lennon's account was true.

This song was wrote by John Lennon, after his son Julian Lennon showed him a drawing the little boy did for a school girlfriend "Lucy O'Donnell" ... (See the rest of the story on Julian Lennon's profile)
