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 & 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…
