|
We all came out to montreux |
|
On the lake geneva shoreline |
|
To make records with a mobile |
|
We didn't have much time |
|
Frank zappa and the mothers |
|
Were at the best place around |
|
But some stupid with a flare gun |
|
Burned the place to the ground |
|
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky |
|
They burned down the gambling house |
|
It died with an awful sound |
|
Funky claude was running in and out |
|
Pulling kids out the ground |
|
When it all was over |
|
We had to find another place |
|
But swiss time was running out |
|
It seemed that we would lose the race |
|
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky |
|
We ended up at the grand hotel |
|
It was empty cold and bare |
|
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside |
|
Making our music there |
|
With a few red lights and a few old beds |
|
We make a place to sweat |
|
No matter what we get out of this |
|
I know we'll never forget |
|
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky |
