When I was young
|
They took me to the dentist
|
I had a toothache
|
But that's okay
|
They gave me some time
|
And that night in my bedroom
|
I worked it loose
|
Like I used to do
|
One little boy in a dentist's chair
|
Heard a hundred angels
|
flying past him
|
What a gas
|
Sitting there
|
The same little boy with a few more years
|
Took a sniff of this
|
A taste of that
|
What a drag
|
Nothing there
|
And then one day he saw you walk
|
And heard you didn't talk
|
Saw the writing on the wall
|
It didn't thunder anymore
|
White lightening it's got nothing on you
|
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
|
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
|
White lightening way out in the blue
|
With a million angels singin'
|
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
|
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
|
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
|
Always refusing the heavenly music
|
When you awake it will have a new meaning
|
White lightening it's got nothing on you
|
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
|
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
|
White lightening way out in the blue
|
With a million angels singin'
|
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
|
Come on to tell when I tell you to breathe in
|
I will take out everything while you're sleeping
|
Always refusing the heavenly music
|
When you awake it will have a new meaning
|
White lightening it's got nothing on you
|
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
|
Oh it didn't shine like you Lord
|
White lightening way out in the blue
|
With a million angels singin'
|
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord
|
