Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

87. The Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. I know that John Lennon has stated on several occasions that the song is not about LSD, that the song was written in response to a drawing by his son. But with lyrics that describe tangerine tree, marmalade skies, a girl with kaleidoscope eyes, where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies, if you don’t think the song describes a hallucinogenic trip, then you probably believe that “Light My Fire” by the Doors, is just a Boy Scout campfire song.
