[Verse]
The sun went down on another perfect day
Busy counting shadows on the wall
The weeds are swallowing up the flower bed
Roses in the whiskey jar, blood on the thorns
Drink until the taste is gone
Cracks in the floorboards are deep from dancing
To the sound of candles burning out
Heavy from writing your resignations
Licking bitter envelopes, blood on your tongue
Drink until the taste is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Where is your Shangri-La now?
Where is your Shangri-La now?
Counting down to zero hour

[Chorus]
There ain't no superheroes now
There ain't no superheroes, they're underground
Happy ever after, counting down to zero hour
There ain't no superheroes now
There ain't no superheroes, they're underground
Happy ever after, counting down to zero hour

[Pre-Chorus]
Where is your Shangri-La now?
Where is your Shangri-La now?
Counting down to zero hour

[Chorus]
There ain't no superheroes now
There ain't no superheroes, they're underground
Happy ever after, counting down to zero hour
There ain't no superheroes now
There ain't no superheroes, they're underground
Happy ever after, counting down to zero hour

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?
