I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lili
The best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems to be enough space
Space, space, space

I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lili
Best I've ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems to be enough space
Space, space , space

Space, space, space, space
Space, space, space, space
Space, space, space, space

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?
