Regardless of whether or not you think the song is about dropping acid, if you want to buy an original handwritten draft for theBeatles' classic track, 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,' now is your chance. And that's no hallucination, dude -- an actual draft of the lyrics, written byJohn Lennonhimself, will be up for auction in Beverly Hills this May.

Obviously, it is expected to carry a hefty price tag -- to the tune of $200,000 or more -- but if you're on the fence, consider this: the winner will get more than just lyrics.Reutersreports that the draft also includes a rough sketch depicting four people in a room with curtained windows. Oh, the mind and creative talents of John Lennon.

The song itself remains a centerpiece of the Beatles' career redefining album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' which was originally released in 1967. The handwritten draft will be auctioned by Profiles in History during theirHollywood Memorabilia Auction 44at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills on May 14 and 15.
