[Intro]
Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down

[Verse 1]
Never mind mannequins drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down
Cheap imitations
The revelation is now

[Chorus]
Yeah, you won't find me I'm going M.I.A
Tonight I'm leaving going M.I.A
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb

[Verse 2]
Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hits the ground
I'm good at escaping
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out
Stuck in the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down

[Chorus]
Yeah, you won't find me I'm going M.I.A
Tonight I'm leaving going M.I.A
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb

[Bridge]
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued, cold and rescued
Cold and rescued, cold and rescued
Cold and rescued, cold and rescued now

[Refrain]
Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down

[Outro]
Yeah, you won't find me I'm going M.I.A
Tonight I'm leaving going M.I.A
So you don't find me I'm going M.I.A
Tonight I'm leaving going M.I.A
Say goodbye to me I'm going M.I.A
I can find relief I'm going M.I.A
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Better than being numb
Better than playing dumb

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?
