[Verse 1]
Have you been headwired
Were you satisfied
Did it free the feelings in your spine
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine

[Chorus]
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires, headwires now

[Verse 2]
Help you feed the wires when your head unwinds
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive

[Chorus]
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires, headwires

[Bridge]
Stationed on the wire (headwires)
One day I'll let go (headwires)
Tell them all hello (headwires)
Tell them all hello (headwires)
Stationed on the wire (headwires)
One day I'll let go (headwires)
Tell them all hello (headwires)
Tell them all hello (headwires)

[Outro]
The sun is on Arlandria
Headwire...

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?
