Yeah, that, and maybe a half dozen hits of Orange Sunshine.

Ooooh, orange sunshine ... my favorite! Double barrel micro-dot of course! Oh man the memories!

The song was written while they were into the acid phase thus the name Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds, look at the main words first letters ... LSD! They were going to call the song that but it wouldn't get past the biggies at the record label so it got the name it now has.

Great song but I think Elton John's version is better.
