"Glass Onion" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

I told you about Strawberry Fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows
Looking through the bent-backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the walrus and me - man
You know that we're as close as can be - man
Well here's another clue for you all:
The walrus was Paul
Standing on the cast-iron shore - yeah
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet - yeah
Looking through a glass onion.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! (yeah)
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint - yeah
Looking through a glass onion.
