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

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
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
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 the kaleidoscope eyes

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

What is the Meaning of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds?

This iconic track from the Beatles' psychedelic era is often thought to be a reference to recreational drug use due to the initials 'LSD' in the title. However, it's actually inspired by a drawing made by John Lennon's son, Julian. The song paints an abstract and surreal landscape, filled with fantastical elements like tangerine trees, marmalade skies, and newspaper taxis. It invites listeners into a dreamlike world where reality is distorted and imagination reigns supreme. In essence, it embodies the spirit of the 1960s counterculture movement and its quest for new ways of seeing and experiencing the world. #PsychedelicImagery #60sCounterculture
