Foo Fighters - Dirty Water Lyrics






I've been drinking dirty water
But I've been here before, after all
The witching hour is upon us
So you and I can sing haunted songs

In my dreams I'm climbing ladders
And then I tumble down, rung by rung
And I keep on falling faster
The heart is echoing, on and on
On and on

I feel an earthquake coming on
I feel the metal in my bones
'Cause I'm a natural disaster
You're the morning after all my storms

You're my sea of poison flowers
Standing in the sun, row by row
I've been drinking dirty water
The taste of sweet revenge, best served cold
All we know

I feel an earthquake coming on
I feel the metal in my bones
I'm a natural disaster
And you're the morning after all my storms

Bleed dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Bleed dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Bleed dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Bleed dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Bleed dirty water
Breathe dirty sky
Bleed dirty water
Breathe dirty sky

I feel an earthquake coming on
I feel the metal in my bones
'Cause I'm a natural disaster
Dirty water in my blood

I feel a moment coming on
Heavy metal in my bones
'Cause I'm a natural disaster
You're the morning after all my storms

    I've been drinking dirty water
    But I've been here before, after all
    The witching hour is upon us
    So you and I can sing haunted songs
    In my dreams I'm climbing ladders
    And then I tumble down, rung by rung
    And I keep on falling faster
    The heart is echoing, on and on
    On and on
    I feel an earthquake coming on
    I feel the metal in my bones
    I'm a natural disaster
    You're the morning after all my storms
    You're my sea of poison flowers
    Standing in the sun, row by row
    I've been drinking dirty water
    The taste of sweet revenge, best served cold
    All we know
    I feel an earthquake coming on
    I feel the metal in my bones
    I'm a natural disaster
    And you're the morning after all my storms
    Bleed dirty water, breathe dirty sky
    Bleed dirty water, breathe dirty sky
    Bleed dirty water, breathe dirty sky
    Bleed dirty water, breathe dirty sky
    Bleed dirty water, breathe dirty sky
    Bleed dirty water, breathe dirty sky
    I feel an earthquake coming on
    I feel the metal in my bones
    'Cause I'm a natural disaster
    Dirty water in my blood
    I feel a moment coming on
    Heavy metal in my bones

  33. L.... M....

    This song rocks it...Foo Fighters Rock it !!!!

  34. D.... C....

    God damn I love this song! That breakdown near the end... oh my.

  35. J.... D....

    I NEED to get this Album it’s genius

  36. J.... C....

    https://youtu.be/W3rh8xlm228

  37. P.... G....

    Anyone know what guitar effect Dave Grohl is using on his guitar during the chorus? Sounds like a Phase 90 type thing?

  38. T.... ....

    This song is an instant Foo’s classic. Bee Gee-esque harmonies and heavy rock with Dave’s voice and it all climaxes at 4:19 - just awesome 🤘

  39. o.... ....

    They played this last night at the garden. Was an awesome show!

  40. F.... l....

    masterpiece.

  41. J.... b....

    This has to be about geoegineering and weather modification...

  42. K.... C....

    Everyone in the area I live in got a community alert message telling people not to drink tap water in the area due to an algae bloom in the local reservoir, ironically this was what I was listening to when I got the message

  43. F.... ....

    I’m in love with this song

  44. B.... C....

    Hearing this song live was out of this world.

    B.... C....

    Bucket list to see them live!

    B.... C....

    Yeah you bet it was.
    I was at the Australian concert and it was the best thing ever.

    B.... C....

    Agree worth every penny

    B.... C....

    oh hi, bend a patch cucumber bound

    B.... C....

    I bet it was, hopefully it'll be in the setlist in October's concert in Colombia

  45. A.... F....

    Saw y’all in concert in Austin. Simply amazing

  46. b.... ....

    So is Dave also Wolverine? Wait, is he both Wolverine AND Jesus now? Come on, man, there's only so much awesomeness we can take...

  47. m.... t....

    i feel it.

  48. m.... t....

    hey i love you guys!

  49. H.... ....

    Heard this at hot topic and phisicaly stopped and instintly loved it!!!

    H.... ....

    "physically'
    "instantly"
    Sorry but I can't help myself.
    Also, "kitties".

    H.... ....

    Ms Debiann1957 Your name reminds me of Debian Linux. I used to use it. Lol. Sorry.

  50. N.... A....

    Make it another hit single.

  51. H.... ....

    Blast off @ 2:43

  52. J.... w....

    this has to be my new favorite song noe

  53. J.... 8....

    Should have named this song "My WEENer"

  54. I.... ....

    It's got a bit of a Red Hot Chili Peppers feel to it. I like that.

  55. D.... K....

    Whenever I listen to this song, I imagine a small town that finds "Dirty" water that slowly drives everybody that drinks it crazy. At first they think the miracle water is a god send. There is no savior that tells people and nobody realizes it. Eventually, people worship it and make altars as they fade more and more into insanity. Then, The town just succumbs to the insanity and kill each other in one huge gory beautiful mess until there is nothing left but "Dirty" water.

    D.... K....

    Write up the video treatment and send it to them!

  56. j.... ....

    Reminds me of Marigold.

  57. j.... ....

    reminds me of the early 90s and also has a 70s vibe to it

  58. C.... ....

    Mix of 1970s music and modern, done in the best way possible! One song fro, this album has to go into ytrw2k17

  59. J.... L....

    I root for the natural disasters

  60. R.... S....

    Foo Fighters kick ASS!!!!!!!

  61. S.... L....

    I love you foo fighters

  62. A.... P....

    Can't get past the ads

    A.... P....

    Adblock Plus

  63. T.... B....

    You're the moment after all my storms. ❤

    T.... B....

    *morning

  64. A.... P....

    Here for Inara George

  65. G.... S....

    Great flanging effects :)

  66. S.... L....

    I love you

  67. E.... F....

    The base line when the get done with the first part breaks into something amazing with the octaves. Best song so far listening through for the first time.

  68. O.... W....

    Anyone who says that Foo Fighters suck has never listened to real music.

    O.... W....

    I agree. The fact that Dave went from playing drums in Nirvana to singing and playing guitars just proves how talented he is. The rest of the band is very talented too.

    O.... W....

    EXCACTLY

  69. J.... P....

    When it starts getting heavy tho. Any prog fan realize that sounds like Neal Morse?

  70. a.... b....

    Makes me wanna roll a doobie...

  71. M.... S....

    Climate change I think.

  72. s.... j....

    THIS SONG STARTS OFF SLOW BUT THEN IT REALLY KICKS INTO OVERDRIVE :)
    THIS IS WHY WE LOVE THE FOO FIGHTERS IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO WRITE GOOD ROCK SONGS WITH MELODY AND THEN WITH LOUD DISTORTED ELECTRIC GUITARS AND VERY CLEVER INTELLIGENT LYRICS THAT MAKE SENSE MUSICALLY AND SONICALLY, CONCRETE AND GOLD IS BY FAR SOME OF THE BEST STUFF THIS BAND HAS MADE IN A LONG TIME BESIDES THEIR OTHER WONDERFUL ALBUMS.
    DIRTY WATER ROCKS HARD BUT SOUNDS GOOD ON THE RADIO TOO.

  73. D.... C....

    This song starts out sitting on a cool beach watching the surfers ride the waves and the ladies walking by. THEN IT TURNS INTO LIVING FIRE AND ENDS ON A HEAVENLY SOAR. It's so beautiful

    D.... C....

    David CM Yes it is !

  74. G.... ....

    I really love this song, the melody at the start of the song and then the explosive part at 2:43

  75. F.... C....

    2:42 MY FAVOURITE PART!!!

  76. P.... N....

    Beautiful

  77. M.... ....

    This album has been out for 1 month already. Time goes by so fucking fast with amazing music

    M.... ....

    2 months now. Still as awesome.

    M.... ....

    1 year now still awesome

    M.... ....

    Year 2776. It's still awesome!

  78. T.... J....

    This feels like it could've been on The Colour and Shape album...

  79. M.... H....

    Pink Floyd - Eclipse

  80. P.... l....

    anyone else hear a little bit of stone temple pilots

    P.... l....

    STRANGELY ENOUGH
    THE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS HAD AN ALBUM CALLED SHANGRAI LA DEE DA
    IN 2001 AND NOW THE FOO FIGHTERS HAVE A SONG CALLED LA DEE DA IN 2017 :) ISNT THAT INTERESTING??

    P.... l....

    I can hear a little bit of STP at the end.

  81. B.... T....

    You can really hear Dave's fascination with The Bird and the Bee in this song....

  82. i.... ....

    I really dig this tune!!! Its, clean,its dirty, its huge, its just got a thick sound to it. Very well produced I see why he chose Greg Kurstin.

  83. J.... M....

    Is dirty water heroine?

  84. M.... Z....

    What a gem of a song...multilayered...good vibe beat....heavy strong finale. This the best track on an outstanding creative tour de force od an album. CONGRATS FOO this one is hard to argue with.

  85. S.... T....

    This album was just to stable and shiny

  86. R.... W....

    For some reason this song really makes me think of Queens of the Stone Age.

  87. e.... ....

    This one struck me particularly strong as being Beatles-esque. Reminds me of George Harrison's 'Isn't It A Pity'---same key too!

    e.... ....

    Indeed, it is very similar overall. I would say almost too much...

  88. C.... W....

    The song kind of sounds like 70's music

  89. Y.... K....

    Best song of the album!

  90. S.... B....

    Sounds like their first album. I love it.

  91. N.... ....

    Foo Fighters has always experimented with different sounds and playstyles, even song progression. To say that they need to make music like they used to is to ask for a band that isnt foo fighters.



    This song is incredible

  92. P.... D....

    Love that Dirty Water!

  93. J.... K....

    holy shit man this is great! it has a feel of the bird and the bee but keeping foo fighters groove...totally unexplainable and amazing

  94. J.... D....

    I'm obsessed with this song!

  95. m.... g....

    does anyone else think it kind of sounds like ghosts without the vocals though

  96. D.... A....

    Listen to this song and then listen to Polkadot Cadaver-Chloroform Girl. You'll thank me later.

  97. P.... B....

    This song peeks my interest in everything I love about music. SOLID instrumental. Great transitions. FANTASTIC build up. "Story telling" type of lyrics. Group singing. Straight up AROUSES me. I can't EMPHASIZE enough how GREAT this SONG IS.

    P.... B....

    P
    Foo-rection!!!!!!

    P.... B....

    I'm SORRY I Can't CONTROL the VOLUME OF my VOICE

  98. o.... t....

    02:43 💜

  99. C.... P....

    Love the 2 halves of this song and the build towards the outro. The subtle harshness Dave introduces as the song progresses is just breath taking
