M.I.A

Foo Fighters · There Is Nothing Left To Lose [1999]

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



Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town,

Drinking their spoils down

cheap imitations

The revelation is now.



Yea You wont find me I'm going MIA

Tonight I'm leaving going MIA

Getting lost in you again is better than being numb



Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down

Run when it hit's the ground

I'm good at escaping

But better at flaking out



Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out

Stuck on the inside now

It's fear I'm embracing

I never could face you down



Yea you wont find me I'm going MIA

Tonight I'm leaving going MIA

Getting lost in you again is better than being numb



Red, red

laced around your head

Cold and rescued x6



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



Yea you wont find me I'm going MIA

Tonight I'm leaving going MIA

So you don't find me I'm going MIA

Tonight I'm leaving going MIA

Say good-bye to me I'm going MIA

I can find relief I'm going MIA

Getting lost in you again is better than being numb

Better than playing dumb
