Little girls come out to play
In a garden full of black flowers today
For their hope has run away
So they chase it through those black flowers again
Little lies we tell ourselves are killing time we do not have
(Matt Darey, Black Flowers)

Black flowers have lost their way
They've lost their way again
Cursed for their will to dream
Raped by mankind again
(Fishbone, Black Flowers)

Black flower in your lonely room
Please let this song be
Black flower, things will brighten soon
Your love will come along
(Marsha Hunt, Black Flower) 

Children lying in their beds.
Just remember what your mother said.
Don't you worry, don't you cry.
Little black flowers grow, in the sky.
In the sky.  
(Chris Isaak, Black Flowers)

Nemůžeš uvidět můj svět
jsem v cárech deště, jsem černý květ
Jak ptáci k zemi sražení
jsem znamení
(Maya, Jsem černý květ)

Wear a black flower
You miss so give it now
You're the man in the dirty street
With children at your feet
(Nirvana, Black Flower)

Black flower, black flower
Doesn’t lift me from the ground
From your lies, recrimination
Like a phantom in the crowd
Black flower, black garden
I know I’m going down
Feel the ground beneath my feet
Spinnin’ round and round and round
(Sacrane, Black Flower)

Black petals like night with a face of blue light
Her essence holds the timeless answers
Frozen as the petals fall there, the Priestess lays bare
And she tastes the petal's power coming over
(Spirit Caravan, Black Flower)

When some pretty boys with skinny ties, black flowers and Valentines
Try to take you home
Do you recognize that I have stopped before you get too high
On your own supply
(Yo La Tengo, Black Flower)
