|
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 made 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 |
