Smoke On The Water

We all came out to Mantra on the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa and the Marvels

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

Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

A funky Claude was runnin' in and out Pullin' kids out the ground

When it all was over We had to find another place

But Swiss time was runnin' out It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel

It was empty, cold, and bare

But with the rolling trunks, so sing just outside

Making our music there

With a few red lights, a few old beds, we made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this, I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Smoke on the water
