Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head Lyrics Artist(Band):Gorillaz
Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain, there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived.(Chorus in background humming)Their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world, obscured as it was by great clouds. Here they played out their peaceful lives, innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below. To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough. (Chorus stops humming) Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflaged, hidden behind dark glasses, and no one noticed them; they only saw shadows. You see, without the truth of the eyes, the Happyfolk were blind. (Singing) Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home Jump out from behind them, and shoot them in the head Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead The dance of the dead The dance of the dead. (Talking) (Chorus humming in background) In time, the Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain, and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable sincerity and beauty. By chance, they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest. (Chorus stops humming) The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things, and soon they began to mine the mountain, it's rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world. Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly, their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls. Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain. Why was it bringing darkness into their lives? (Chorus humming in background) And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain, holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the Monkey. For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for, they knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep. (Chorus stops humming) Then there came a sound. Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space (echoes). There were no screams. There was no time. The mountain called Monkey had spoken. There was only fire. And then, nothing. (Singing) Oh, little town in U.S.A The time has come to see All the things you think you are But where were you when it all came down on me Did you call me now?

Review about Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head just lettin ya know | Reviewer: zack | 4/2/2008 so my dad got the gorillaz cd and my friend fell in love with this song so whenever were in the car he tells me to play it. but now we got an assignment at school to write a sci-fi story and this song instantly clicked into my head interesting stuff! | Reviewer: rose | 1/24/2008 i just read what you guys said about mount pinatubo and that is an AWESOME comparison! especially seen as i am actually studying the song for english! but ever thought of it as a view upon the bibles teaching on how last time god sent a great flood next time it will be fire? im not entirely religious but that was what first came to mind for me and i figured that the Gorillaz had just related it back to their personal theme and used it as an analogy...maybe?! what are your thoughts on that one? A parable | Reviewer: Nate | 12/4/2007 Pinatubo or otherwise, this song works as a parable of the West's modern-world occupation (and subsequent mining/environmental plunder) of indigenous lands the world over, be it the US, Mexico, Australia, Canada, Peru, South Africa, etc. The "monkey" works as an analogy for "mother nature," or some other cosmic equilibrium thrown askew. Sounds like Mount Pinatubo to me.......... | Reviewer: Brian | 7/22/2007 When i was in the philippines back in 1997 and then again 1999 and 2000 i had several people that lived close to pinatubo tell me that the reason it awoke after 500 years of dormacy was because people (most likely americans from the near clark airbase) had found that the volcanic plug had a wealth of gold...gems....and massive amounts of valuble minerals and ores and proceded to mine deep in to plug...maybe for many years to such an extent that it eventualy weakened the plug....also... the happyfolk of this song talks about sound remarkibly like the native people that lived near the mountain before the eruptions started...also the contents of ejected material were indead rich with massive mounts of valuble minerals such as copper...zinc....nickel and others... i will now provide you with a link to the wikipedia site so you can draw your own conclutions and the first time i heard the song my thoughts and gut feelings went instantly to the storys i had heard about mount pinatubo...expecially as the songs lyriks progressed....and it all happened the very first time i heard the song....here is the link....its facintaing reading no matter what your opinion on my theroy...and even if it was true there would probably be nearly if not totaly impossible to prove it....(EXPECIALLY if the US goverment was some how involved and/or directly or indirectly responsible).... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pinatubo awesome | Reviewer: n.d | 4/1/2007 like it even better than feel good inc. aso think that dennis hopper is kick ass Review the song Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
