10. 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 hores people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredible high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you’r 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
