Lyrics (Nothing But) Flowers - Caetano Veloso
Here
we
stand,
like
an
Adam
and
an
Eve,
Waterfalls,
the
Garden
of
Eden.
Two
fools
in
love,
so
beautiful
and
strong,
The
birds
in
the
trees
are
smiling
upon
them.
From
the
age
of
the
dinosaurs,
Cars
have
run
on
gasoline
Where,
where
have
they
gone?
Now
it's
nothing,
but
flowers.
There
was
a
factory,
Now
there
are
mountains
and
rivers.
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
We
caught
a
rattlesnake,
Now
we
got
something
for
dinner.
We
got
it,
we
got
it...
There
was
a
shopping
mall,
Now
it's
all
covered
with
flowers.
You've
got
it,
you've
got
it...
If
this
is
paradise,
I
wish
I
had
a
lawnmower.
You've
got
it,
you've
got
it...
Years
ago,
I
was
an
angry
young
man,
I'd
pretend
that
I
was
a
billboard.
Standing
tall
by
the
side
of
the
road,
I
fell
in
love
with
a
beautiful
highway.
This
used
to
be
real
estate,
Now
it's
only
fields
and
trees.
Where,
where
is
the
town?
Now
it's
nothing,
but
flowers.
The
highways
and
cars
Were
sacrificed
for
agriculture.
I
thought
that
we'd
start
over,
But
I
guess
I
was
wrong.
Once
there
were
parking
lots,
Now
it's
a
peaceful
oasis.
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
This
was
a
Pizza
Hut,
Now
it's
all
covered
with
daisies.
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
I
miss
the
honky
tonks,
Dairy
Queens,
and
7-Elevens
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
And
as
things
fell
apart,
Pobody
paid
much
attention.
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
I
dream
of
cherry
pies,
Candy
bars,
and
chocolate
chip
cookies.
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
We
used
to
microwave,
Now
we
just
eat
nuts
and
berries.
You
got
it,
you
got
it...
Don't
leave
me
stranded
here,
I
can't
get
used
to
this
lifestyle.
