Lucy In The Sky WIth Diamonds
performed by Elton John

It's just like Noah's ark There's two of every kind Pretty girls and boys in drag Walking a fine thin line Shaking hands and bussing cheeks Licking their lips like they could eat Me alive in a couple of weeks Yea just like Noah's ark Italiano promotion men Chomping a big cigar Slapping backs and making cracks About the fags in the bar Radio boss dipping his nose in a little white packet You put it out son and we'll all back it Yea it's just like Noah's ark [chorus:] And the waves are crashing round us But we're ready for the flood And we don't need a sign like an olive branch In the beak of a snow white dove We're not as dumb as we might look You can't keep us in the dark With me and you it's two by two just like Noah's ark These four walls have seen The Cockettes and the Casters From San Francisco to Ohio I've seen beauty and disaster Cocky young roosters and little chicks Flashing smiles, shaking them hips Trying to hook it up for the late night shift Here in Noah's ark [repeat chorus] And we wrote it as we saw it from the centre of the stage All access to the liars who claim they wrote a page But for every tiny dancer there's a dog that's had its day The truth is never quite the same as what the papers say [repeat chorus]

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. {REFRAIN} Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Ah... Ah... {VERSE 2} 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. {REFRAIN} 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. {REFRAIN REPEATED AND FADED}
