Flying Lotus - Fire Is Coming Lyrics






The yellow phone on the wall started ringing
Tommy jumped
Then ran across the kitchen and picked up the receiver
"Hello?" he said, a little out of breath
Tommy's father was downstairs in the basement wood shop
Cutting a piece of clear pine on the table saw
The sound of the saw was screechingly loud
And a big plume of agitated sawdust was forming in the air
Tommy's mother was outside on the front lawn
Tending to a small flower garden
She was visibly upset about her flowers' condition
She was observing a black film on the stems and leaves
Then trying to wipe this black substance away
While running hose water on it
But it was too greasy, and the water wasn't washing it away
The front door opened and Tommy appeared behind his mother
"Mom, there's a phone call for you"
Tommy's mom stood up and turned
The garden hose in her right hand shooting water
"Who is it?" she asked
"I don't know. It's a man. He said you would know what it's about"
Tommy's mom stood frozen for a moment
And Tommy saw lines of worry racing across her face
Something else scrambled into Tommy's awareness
He saw that the sky was noticeably darker than usual
And he saw a huge, red-orange glow moving on the horizon
Just then, a man appeared running frantically in the street
The man yelling, "Fire is coming! Fire is coming!
Fire is coming! Fire is coming!
Fire is coming! Fire is coming!"

There's a fire burning in the streets
Everybody move their feet
Fire burning in the streets
Everybody move your feet
Fire burning in the streets
Everybody move their feet
Fire burning in the streets
Everybody move your feet
Fire burning in the streets
Everybody move their feet
Fire burning in the streets
Everybody move their feet

    high as hell watching this ngl

  7. H.... F....

    The leaders of the pack only see the threats coming from the other leaders. They all will burn. No, they won't listen, they will just burn each other and no one will survive.

  8. B.... S....

    The old man looks adorable

  9. R.... c....

    Tom Waits did it better.

  10. M.... P....

    This is kinda scary

  11. k.... k....

    Devid firth 😐

  12. P.... I....

    Ok but that drop would have been dope asf

  13. d.... d....

    Super sensual

  14. K.... D....

    Pure Magic - David Lynch is here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. J.... G....

    This shit gave me chills

  16. A.... c....

    Go See This SHOW! FIRE came to Portland last night!

  17. G.... M....

    Sadly the full version on the album isn't as good as this, but this is fantastic.

  18. W.... ....

    David Lynch and David Firth, never thought I'd see the day!

  19. V.... H....

    Do not watch this alone at one AM this shit freaked me the fuck out💀💀💀

  20. T.... ....

    I wish the whole album was like this

    T.... ....

    The only problem that I have with the album is those Spider Man 2 pizza theme synths and how long it is. Other than that, 7/10.

  21. K.... K....

    M.E.H. kinda pretentious, pretty mediocre work from other wise talented people. Collab seems to be unnecessary.

    K.... K....

    It's necessary in every way. And also, it's an interlude. But, even though I disagree, it's your opinion.

    K.... K....

    @A Person Ok if it's an interlude, fair enough. But David has written better

    K.... K....

    @Kitty K. True

    K.... K....

    @A Person <3

  22. E.... A....

    So awesome...👍

  23. T.... T....

    Fire is Coming says David Lynch and Tommy, Thomas, is the boys name. Well what a coincidence. My Father's name is THOMAS and he was murdered in a fire in his home and he died from smoke inhalation. It is sad how certain people like to make money off of another's life by putting out false claims about that person for a profit. But what is even sadder is how the people refuse to acknowledge they are evening Lieing. They just keep spreading lies for that mean green. So why does David Lynch have to use the name Thomas and refer to a fire coming when my father's name? Big bucks! Thomas was murdered in his home and died while his home was on fire! So why dies David Lynch speak about this? Everyone needs to makes a buck off or a dead mans legacy. Sickening

    T.... T....

    It seemed that your reply got taken off.

    T.... T....

    @A Person that's your response. Ok 👌 You just keep think that if it makes you feel better.

    T.... T....

    Yeah, I can kinda agree, that is messed up, but I don't think he was referring to your dad. Because the stuff was released during the festival, doesn't mean that they was throwing jabs at your father. And if that William person did that, then you should have a grudge with him. And I'll give my two cents into this: It was all coincidental that it was released at the same time the festival happened other than for, possibly doing a showcase for this music video. If this music video was about your dad, wouldn't David mention him or give any subliminal s other than that your dad died in a fire and he's friends with someone that you hate? To me, it seems that David is caught in the frey of things.

    T.... T....

    @The True Legacy of Dr. Tom Boring and no, I wasn't saying it sarcastically, I was just pointing it out.

  24. T.... T....

    My father's legacy is tanted and fabricated because of the claims William Eggleston has made about his life and unsolved murder. Why does David Lynch have this poem about a boy named Thomas, Tommy, and he speaks about fire coming during this disruptive poem. Why does he have to use the name Thomas? Why does he talk about Fire when my father's name is Thomas and he died in the fire?

    ok twin peaks

  27. C.... H....

    Through the darkness of futures past
    The magician longs to see
    One chants out between two worlds
    Fire... walk with me

  28. x.... ....

    "What's he building in there?"

  29. L.... w....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWiMuda0_7c Check out new music video from flamagra - Heroes

  30. R.... M....

    Who else was actually waiting for a sick soundtrack?







    I would have really been amazed if it was a real music video.

  31. Z.... G....

    Its like a new Twin Peaks Season 4 preview

  32. T.... T....

    My father's name is Thomas. Why did David Lynch use the name Tommy, which stands for Thomas, and then speak about Fire? When my father was murdered in a Fire. David knows about my father's murder because he is good friends with William Eggleston. So I want to know why he chose the name Thomas for his poem or whatever it is and then speak about a Fire while he is doing this at his festival of Disruption in 2018. The same time William Eggleston is putting on his Art Exhibition at David's Show. These people have no respect in my opinion for anyone murdered.

    T.... T....

    The True Legacy of Dr. Tom Boring he wasn't murdered though, it's already been known that tom boring died of smoke inhalation not of a murder

    T.... T....

    @therealbuilderman Glad you know how he died. How did he die of smoke inhalation if he was not murdered since you know so much NOT

    T.... T....

    The True Legacy of Dr. Tom Boring that means he wasnt murdered his drath was an accident that no one could have seen coming

    T.... T....

    @therealbuilderman I am going to make things easier on you. Since you don't know what you are talking about. How about you read my father's biography "The True Legacy of Dr. Tom Boring" when it comes out later this late Summer. I am publishing it soon. Read his biography then you will know his life story and how he was murdered. Until then stop coming at me about my father's life and unsolved murder when you know nothing at all about the man to begin with. Bye Bye read his book "The True Legacy of Dr. Tom Boring" an unsolved murder biography coming out soon.

    T.... T....

    The True Legacy of Dr. Tom Boring you know before you mentioned tom boring i had already known about him and his works i've looked extensively into his life as is i was just saying your reaching by saying david lynch is insensitive for using tom boring as a form of art

  33. K.... A....

    Sometimes I don’t get Flylo, just like I don’t get David Lynch. 🙄

  42. P.... ....

    Prefered the Rona Hartner colab lol

  43. H.... ....

    I'm sad that the beat in this is better than the one in the actual song

  44. C.... ....

    Horror genius

  45. D.... ....

    This is beautiful!! Watching it again!!
    A request to fans, please shoot the movie David Lynch is talking and how he is composing those shots in his scene description, like, the son at the front door, appearing behind the mother, so a shot from her up close and in the back, you see the son and the defocus effect and the next when she turns and stands up, with water shooting from the hose in her right hand, so i would compose that as, woman on the left of the frame, up close and son on the right, in the distance and when she stands up, we see him through the water, which could blend really well with the skyline vision the kid is experiencing. It doesn't have to be done this way, but just trying to say, if every detail in David's description is followed, with the right music, especially, if DL played anything when he read this poem, because sometimes, he plays stuff, or like, asks someone to come and play the violin. Would be great if someone does that!
    Then, it would be funny, to see that film, in the wolf's face, without David Lynch's voice. After the film ends, suddenly, teeth appear, top and bottom, that we register as the wolf's, but then, SNAP!, the mouth shuts, eats the TV, David Lynch face is revealed, twisted, with sparks and bolts and sound effects of the crushed TV, with TV distortion effects appearing in DL's eyes and also the mouth snapping shut disrupts the actual whole screen, making the kids react to the distortion around them.
    David Lynch screams, FIRE IS COMING, with eyes full of flames, creeping out upwards. With that, a huge wave of current pushes everyone and the things back, with a rumble, with everything shaking.
    Suddenly, all is quiet, as everyone freezes in whatever their twisted position was and David Lynch stares around, with worried eyes and innocently says, "I'm uh.. i'm just trying to warn you... you see... so.. uh... okay... bye" and leaves everyoen still frozen in their position and expression, maybe just blinking eyes, with the last puff of smoke rising and dispersing... all silent....5 seconds of camera slowly zooming out, it's all calm.
    BAM! David Lynch face, much bigger head, blast through the floor, the rest of him, under it and it growls! "I'm here!!", with building creepy violins that turn to chaotic unrelated notes explosion, with the children screaming, as fire starts in the room and falling rubble covers the screen and it fades out, with the screams and laughter.

    Or, am I too high?

  46. J.... H....

    This is both adorable and utterly terrifying. How a man manages to maintain both creep and a daycare ....

  47. L.... E....

    What a piece of crap

  48. K.... A....

    Louis࿆e

  49. R.... Q....

    David Lynch could read the phone book and his grocery list and it would still sound creepy as hell.

  50. v.... g....

    Awesome

    v.... g....

    Also the white lodge at the beginning.

  51. F.... ....

    this some spooky shit

  52. T.... D....

    Damn if I could make a clip for this song I'd make a 60-70's future kind of setting and tell the story like that. Typical dad working in the basement and typical mom working in the garden and seeing the black ashes falling from the sky.

  53. m.... d....

    I consider this Twin Peaks canon.

  54. M.... P....

    I’m so scared

  55. L.... S....

    REVELATION 18.8. - Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

  56. J.... ....

    Crazy to think that the final cut ended up being pretty fire in the end.

  57. M.... B....

    This is, how would you say today . . . bullshit?

  58. Y.... B....

    what a bomb drop ! David Lynch and Flying Lotus, i know i was on the right way !

  59. A.... W....

    GOOSEBUMPS.

  60. M.... D....

    David firth was here also

  61. M.... D....

    need another LP by David Lynch, just him talking no music is ok

  62. Y.... d....

    Well damn, that’s scared me a lil

  63. d.... ....

    yo this was incredible‼️

  64. K.... T....

    My therapist told me it's perfectly fine to see David in a dog's mouth in my dreams every night because my frontal cortex is off

  65. J.... S....

    Maybe the most Lynchian video ever that's _not directed by David Lynch?_ Shout out to Flying Lotus for getting Lynch, a true inspiration since I was a little kid... They are kindred souls, and finally, it seems, genre barriers (generic, by definition) are giving way to put artistically kindred spirits together. There is no HipHop, there is no jazz, there is no avant garde, etc... there is only expression.

  66. �.... �....

    По-большому счёту - полная хуйня!

  67. A.... ....

    I... Agree

  68. T.... M....

    Superb bunch of weirdos, these guys

  69. M.... C....

    В чём смысл?

  70. T.... H....

  71. S.... ....

    I HOPE CAPTAIN MURPHY ON THIS!!

  72. J.... N....

    You k oe, I have my, ow. Lisy Nike listen own listen forgot own its good shif

    A.... D....

    Nice well done

  77. A.... D....

    This is not the kind of stuff you play at a festival. Especially LIB. THIS CAN TRAUMATIZE SOMEONE.

  78. W.... ....

    2:21 love the music that transitions after the eerie music hope thats on the track

  79. R.... H....

    Watching half of Fly Los crowd run away from the stage at LIB, because he opened with this in 3D is the best thing I've ever seen.

  80. B.... B....

    Guys... fire is coming

  81. j.... s....

    Tommy lived @ King's landing.

  82. K.... K....

    G.... M....

    @Miss Lamb lmao didn't even notice.
    I'd watch that movie.

  86. B.... ....

    Amazing ...

  87. M.... T....

    FlyLo is lit but he does to much weirdo shit. Only socially awkward weirdos and white people like shit like this. Like seriously wtf is this? Lmaooo anyone that actually like this shit I can guarantee gets no pussy bro lol

  88. C.... I....

    What are they rats?

  89. E.... ....

    I like it more than the other new single... hopefully the album is more weirdness like this and awesome instrumentals. I didn't like the Anderson Paak vocals but everything else in that track is great. I just want to hear that.

  90. M.... W....

    reminds me of the radio play in Silent Hills. super foreboding and surreal to hear

  91. t.... k....

    So wicked i love it 🤘

  92. L.... R....

    The slide whistle at 3:07 breaks the tension kind of
    FIRE IS COMING
    FIRE IS COMING
