The Flower Called Nowhere Lyrics

The song The Flower Called Nowhere is performed by Stereolab in the album named Dots and Loops in the year 1997 .



All the small boats on the water aren't going anywhere
Surely they must be loaded with more than simple matter
Floating on top and gracefully tending to the same pole
All the small boats on the water going nowhere

Is it true that none of them will ever break free and sail?
Feel the night is made of rocks, the stagnant ma*s
Is it true that none of them, will ever break free and sail?
Break free from the stagnant things left in obscurity
Left in obscurity

All the faces with their eyes closed giving a smile
Weightless like a body that would vacate to its own light
Is it true that none of these contented happy faces
Will not ever hear a cry, won't hear a cry?

Is it true that none of these contented happy faces
Will not ever hear a cry?
Filled with love not with desire, love not desire

Is it true that none of these contented happy faces
Will not ever hear a cry?
Filled with love not with desire, love not desire

All the small boats on the water aren't going anywhere
Surely they must be loaded with more than simple matter
Floating on top and gracefully tending to the same pole
All the small boats on the water going nowhere

Is it true that none of them will ever break free and sail?
Break free from the stagnant things left in obscurity
