Picture yourself in a boat on a r iver
with tangerine trees and marmalade sk ies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite sl owly,
a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
towering over your h ead.
Look for the girl with the s un in her eyes,
and she's g one
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a- ah.
Follow her down to a bridge by a f ountain
where rocking horse people eat marshmallow p ies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the fl owers
that grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis app ear on the shore,
waiting to take you aw ay.
Climb in the back with your h ead in the clouds,
and you're g one.
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a- ah.
Picture yourself on a train in a st ation
With plasticine porters with looking glass t ies
Suddenly someone is there at the t urnstyle,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a- ah.
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a- ah.
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds,
Lucy in the sky with d iamonds...
