We all came out to Montreux <br />On the Lake Geneva shoreline <br />To make records with a mobile <br />We didn't have much time <br />Frank Zappa and the Mothers <br />Were at the best place around <br />But some stupid with a flare gun <br />Burned the place to the ground <br />Smoke on the water, fire in the sky <br /><br />They burned down the gambling house <br />It died with an awful sound <br />Funky & Claude was running in and out <br />Pulling kids out the ground <br />When it all was over <br />We had to find another place <br />But Swiss time was running out <br />It seemed that we would lose the race <br />Smoke on the water, fire in the sky <br /><br />We ended up at the Grand Hotel <br />It was empty, cold and bare <br />But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside <br />Making our music there <br />With a few red lights and a few old beds <br />We made a place to sweat <br />No matter what we get out of this <br />I know we'll never forget <br />Smoke on the water, fire in the sky.
