New Live & Rare: Vol. 3
We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time But 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 And 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 And 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, 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 And fire in the sky Smoke on the water

Oh, the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing, only grains of sand All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing, only flakes of snow (Hey) The sensation is not new to you It's something we all have known You get it, it goes right through you Yes, it's something we all have known And the bird, it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone Hey! Now, the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches, same as you and me (Sensation) The sensation is not new to you It's something we all have known You get it, it goes right through you Yes, it's something we all have known And the bird, it has flown Now, the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches, same as you and me Oh it's started snowing Yes, it started snowing
