Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 all the best place around
Some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
[Verse 2]
Smoke on the water
Fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
[Verse 3]
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Put kids out of ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seems that we will lose the race
[Verse 4]
Smoke on the water
Fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
[Verse 5]
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold, and bare
With a rolling truck stone 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, I know, we'll never forget
[Verse 6]
Smoke on the water
Fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
