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.
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 the kaleidoscope eyes.

Of course everyone [well those who are NOT sheltered from the world and everything in it] knows that The Beatles were talking about LSD, and being that it was the 60's I'm positive they had done it, and everything else being introduced at that time. No wonder that was the best decade. They were all happy as a fuck becuase of the drugs man! Anyways, The Beatles were part of the music revolution for sure. Everything before then was mainstream you had ONE genre of music. Well not ONE but one huge major one, and that was the way you wrote your music, The Beatles were a huge part of the movement to break that unity in music and make it something to express yourself and write lyrics that made no fucking sense. Face it, not all of The Beatles lyrics made a whole lot of it. Not all were about drugs, living free and being yourself, or whatever else they sang about. I went on a huge tangent about them, when all I really wanted to say "Was this song about one of THEIR trips?" It would be really interesting to find out, and any Beatle guru's out there who would know, should definitely tell me :]
