[Intro — hazy guitar feedback, slow build, distant vocal] I took one hit... Then another... Then I saw the dragon. [Verse 1 — driving rock groove, loose confident delivery] I woke up sideways in a room full of smoke, Had a kung-fu manual and a half-burned joke, My eyes went wide when the ceiling turned gold, And a tiny little monk said, “Your spirit's too old.” I said, “Who are you?” He said, “You already know.” I said, “Where'd my pizza go?” He said, “That’s part of the flow.” Now I'm floating cross-legged three inches off the floor, Fighting imaginary ninjas by the refrigerator door, I threw one punch and the curtains caught fire, Then I bowed to the toaster like a grandmaster sire. [Pre-Chorus — rising, melodic] And I don't know what I'm seeing, But I swear that it's real, Every time the room starts spinning, I can feel what I feel... [Chorus — huge melodic rock hook] I'm a Foo Fighter! Fighting through the haze, High on the mountain, Lost inside the blaze, I'm a Foo Fighter! With a dragon in my mind, Throwing kung-fu punches At dimensions I can't find. Whoa-oh... I think I'm flying... Whoa-oh... Or maybe I'm just lying... [Verse 2 — heavier guitars, playful swagger] I walked outside wearing one sock and a robe, Saw a squirrel on the fence like he owned the whole globe, He stared at me twice, then he whispered, “Begin.” I said, “Begin what?” He said, “The battle within.” Now the mailbox is a temple, And the driveway is my dojo, I'm doing slow-motion kicks While my neighbor's yelling, “No, bro!” I caught a falling leaf with the back of my hand, Then accidentally karate-chopped a trash can, The whole damn street started looking profound, I could hear the grass growing underneath the ground. [Pre-Chorus — building] And I don't know what I'm chasing, But I'm chasing it fast, Maybe enlightenment's Just another thing to pass... [Chorus — bigger, layered vocals] I'm a Foo Fighter! Fighting through the haze, High on the mountain, Lost inside the blaze, I'm a Foo Fighter! With a dragon in my mind, Throwing kung-fu punches At dimensions I can't find. Whoa-oh... The universe is bending... Whoa-oh... And my munchies never-ending... [Bridge — psychedelic breakdown, drums drop out] [Whispered] Master... What is the secret? [Deep voice] There is no secret. [Whispered] Then why am I fighting this lamp? [Deep voice] Because you are not ready. [Beat drops — explosive guitar] I SAID... HI-YAH! I kicked the smoke, I punched the air, I fought a shadow That wasn't there! One with the couch, One with the sky, One with the munchies I cannot deny! [Gang vocals] FOO! FIGHT! FOO! FIGHT! [Lead vocal] I found the ancient power! [Gang vocals] WHAT POWER?! [Lead vocal] THE POWER... TO ORDER MORE PIZZA! [Final Chorus — massive, euphoric] I'm a Foo Fighter! Fighting through the haze, High on the mountain, Lost inside the blaze, I'm a Foo Fighter! And I'm feeling alright, Got a pocket full of magic And a black belt in the night. I'm a Foo Fighter! Let the whole world spin, If the universe is laughing, I'm gonna laugh with it! Whoa-oh... I thought I found forever... Whoa-oh... I just found another feather... [Outro — dreamy, fading vocals] Maybe I'm a warrior... Maybe I'm insane... Maybe the dragon Was just smoke inside my brain... But if enlightenment comes knocking, I'll be waiting at the door... [softly] With kung-fu... And a bag of snacks.
