Smoke On The Water - Live In Osaka, Japan / 15th August 1972 / Original 1972 Mix
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 of ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running on
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
We ended up in the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones
being just outside [-----?-----]
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made the place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget.
Smoke on the water...
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 of ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running on
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
We ended up in the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones
being just outside [-----?-----]
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made the place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget.
Smoke on the water...
