[Verse 1]
You lost your mind, I could not go
What little time we spent a penny on the floor
My desperation, a spinning top
Revolving on and on a world that never stops
Is it all mine? How could I know?
We threw the rind away, swallowed all the core
Tried levitation, you're not alone
The stars are holding open a door we'll never close

[Chorus]
I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful, the world will never know
Our roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete, they will grow

[Verse 2]
Is it all mine? I can't let go
What little time we spent a penny on the floor
My desperation, is this a curse?
'Til death do us part for better or for worse

[Chorus]
I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful the world will never know
Our roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete, they will grow
Our roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete, we will grow

[Outro]
Fuck you, Darrell

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
