(originally by Deep Purple
feat. Jacoby Shaddix)




We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
Oh, we didn't have much time


Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around

When 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


It burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound

And Funky Claude was running in and out
Yeah, pulling kids out the ground


When it all was over
We had to find another place
And Swiss time was running out

It seemed as 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

Makin' our music there

With a few red lights and a few old beds

We found a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know I'll never forget


Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

Smoke

Smoke
Running down
A fire in the sky


Smoke
Smoke

Running down

Fire

A fire in the sky
