This is an amazing song. It is making reference to "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" by the Beatles which is about drugs (LSD to be specific.) This song is showing the negative effects of drugs:

Lucy's in the subway with daffodils She lost all of her diamonds, and she sold all her pills

Drugs may give you a temporary high, but when the night is over and the money all spent, many are left without jobs, homes and families and are forced to living on the streets. Props to Phish for a creative way to express this message.
