Tomorrow Never Knows

By John T. Marck

Written by Lennon, this was his attempt to give a sign of things to come, while capturing the meaning of an LSD experience in words and sounds. It is probably the strangest and most experimental track to appear on a Beatles' recording at the time. It was recorded on April 6, 7 and 22, 1966, and the first song recorded for Revolver.

Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream,

It is not dying, It is not dying

Lay down all thought, surrender to the void,

It is shining, it is shining

That you may see, the meaning of within,

It is being, It is being

That love is all, and love is everyone,

It is knowing, it is knowing

That ignorance and hate, may mourn the dead,

It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the color of your dreams,

It is not living, it is not living

Or play the game, existence to the end,

Of the beginning, of the beginning,

Of the beginning, of the beginning,

Of the beginning, of the beginning
