Hi

Scroll down to History.

[weeal]

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 & 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 - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water


They burned down the gambling house - It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of the ground
When it all was over, we had to find another place
Swiss time was running 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 Truck Stones Thing just outside making our music there
With a few red lights an' 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 - A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Yes, it's a song about how tough life can be when you're a millionaire rock star and find you have no recording studio to go to.

Something with which I'm sure we can all empathise.
