We all came out to Montereax, 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. (Uh) 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 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... ^ TOP
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane And I howled at my ma in the driving rain, But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas! But it's all right. Im jumpin jack flash, Its a gas! gas! gas! I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag, I was schooled with a strap right across my back, But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas! But it's all right. Im jumpin jack flash, I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead. I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled. I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, Yeah, yeah I was crowned with a spike right thru my head. But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas! But it's all right. Im jumpin jack flash, Jumping jack flash, it's a gas... Jumping jack flash, it's a gas ^ TOP
I was cutting the rug Down at a place called The Jug With a girl named Linda Lu When in walked a man with a gun in his hand And he was looking for you know who. He said, "hey there fellow, With the hair colored yellow . . whatch'a tryin to prove? 'cause thats my woman there And I'm a man who cares, And this might be all for you." I was scared and fearing for my life. I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree. cause he was lean, mean, Big and bad, lord, Pointin' that gun at me. I said, wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her, Don't want no trouble with you. And I know you don't owe me But I wish you'd let me ask one favor from you. Won't you give me 3 steps, Gimme 3 steps mister, Gimme 3 steps t'ward the door? Gimme 3 steps Gimme 3 steps mister, And you'll never see me no more. Well the crowd cleared away And I began to pray As the water fell on the floor. And I'm tellin' you son, Well, it ain't no fun Starin' straight down a forty-four. Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu And that's the break I was lookin' for. And you could hear me screamin' a mile away As I was headed out t'wards the door. Won't you give me 3 steps, Gimme 3 steps mister, Gimme 3 steps t'ward the door? Gimme 3 steps Gimme 3 steps mister, And you'll never see me no more. ^ TOP

I saw a light, just up ahead But I couldn't seem To rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, then I am People seem To think I'm Superman
But I watch for the love I'm livin' in the day of the eagle, Eagle, not the dove
It's like a weight that brings me down If I don't move, I'm on the ground
It's in my mind, it's in my soul It's tellin' me the things I can't be told
It's a watch for the love Livin' in the day of the eagle Eagle, not the dove
Another day, another night I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I've got to be alone I've got to meet a lover on my own
But I watch for the love Livin' in the day of the eagle Eagle, not the dove

Buy me a drink, sing me a song . . Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
Last dance with Mary Jane One more time to kill the pain

There's pigeons down in Market Square She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room And nightfall will be comin' soon

[a-f#]I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well
Em A G D
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
D G A

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

I know that things would be a whole lot better for her, I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her

All aboard! HA HA HA HA HA HA! (echo)
Crazy, but that's how it goes Millions of people living as foes
Maybe, it's not too late To learn how to love And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming Driving me insane I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me You gotta listen to my words.... Yeah yeah yeah
Heirs of the Cold War, that's what we've become Inheireted troubles, I'm mentally numb!
Crazy, I just cannot bear I'm living with something that just isn't fair!
Mental wounds not healing Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Tell me do you think it'd be all right If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago I might not be alone
[Chorus:]
Tomorrow we can drive around this town And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago I might be here with you
[Chorus x2]
Tell me do you think it'd be all right If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago I might not be alone
[Chorus x2]
Hey jealousy She took my heart Well there's only one thing I couldn't start
