Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
The Beatles Recovered Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
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
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
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
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
The Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is a classic psychedelic tune that takes listeners on a trippy journey through an imaginative world. The song begins by transporting the listener to a boat on a river surrounded by unusual scenery, including tangerine trees and marmalade skies. The song then introduces the character of Lucy, a girl with kaleidoscope eyes who appears and disappears throughout the song. The lyrics describe cellophane flowers and towering structures before Lucy invites the listener to follow her to a bridge by a fountain. From there, newspaper taxis take the listener on an otherworldly journey, culminating in a train station encounter with Lucy once again.
Many speculate that the song’s title and lyrics suggest drug use, specifically LSD. However, John Lennon claimed the song was inspired by his young son Julian's artwork, created while he was attending the Weybridge Primary School in England. The drawing was of his classmate Lucy O'Donnell, and when Julian came home with it, he told his parents that it was a picture of Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Lennon was captivated by the phrase and used it as the basis for the song.
