It seemed that we could lose the race now
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
We didn't have much time
We make a place to sweat
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, yeah
A few red lights and a few old beds
Some stupid with a flare gun
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
When all was over had to find another place
He was pulling kids out the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
It was empty cold and bare
Making our music there
No matter what
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
Burning down alright, alright
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Funky Claude was running in and out
It died with an awful sound
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Burned the place to the ground
With the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Smoke on the water
Watch it burning down, burning
We get out of this
Swiss time was running out
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Burning down
Come on now
