Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmilade 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.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rockinghorse 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.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking-glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
