[Intro]
I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I'll be coming home next year

[Verse 1]
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year

[Chorus]
Come on, get on, get on
Take it 'til life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground

[Verse 2]
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
When I come down
I'll be coming home next year

[Verse 3]
I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around
I'll be coming home next year

[Chorus]
Come on, get on, get on
Take it 'til life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground

[Bridge]
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year

Say goodbye oh
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye oh
Say goodbye love oh

I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year

[Outro]
I'll be coming home next year

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?
