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.
Follow her down to a bridge
by a fountain
Where rocking horse people
eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift
past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newpaper 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 the kaleidoscope
eyes.
