Tenemos que aceptar que Lucy in the sky with diamonds se presta para la malinterpretación, más si consideramos la época en la que se hizo. Sin embargo, lejos de hablar sobre LSD, la canción es sobre un dibujo de una de las amigas de Julian, el hijo mayor deJohn Lennon. A pesar de que él mismo confirmó la historia, mucha gente sigue creyendo que es sobre el LSD.
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 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 sore 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 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 Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds
