Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (Take 1 and Speech at the End) Lyrics

*Coughs*
Take 1
Hello? Hello
I might as well have that recording there
It doesn't go on tape
Isn't it?
[?]
Oh well
[?]


[Verse 1: John Lennon]
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

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2: John Lennon]
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 shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Instrumental Chorus]
