Smoke on the Water (remaster 1997) Songtext
von Deep Purple

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 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 the ground

When it all was over
We had to find another place
But 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

Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
