We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile, yeah

We didn't have much time now

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, you guys are great

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

Funky Claude was running in and out

He was pulling kids out the ground now

When it all was over

Find another place

Swiss time was running out

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

Burn it down

We ended up at the Grand Hotel

It was empty, cold and bare

The Rolling truck Stones thing just outside

Huh, making our music there now

With a few red lights and 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, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

(I can't hear anything)

one more time

(Smoke on the water) hey!

Nobody gonna take my car

I'm gonna race it to the ground

Nobody gonna beat my car

It's gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it's a killing machine

It's got everything

Like a driving power

Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it

I bleed it

Yeah, it's a wild hurricane

Alright, hold tight

I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl

I'm gonna keep her to the end

Nobody gonna have my girl

She stays close on every bend

Ooh, she's a killing machine

She got everything

Like a moving mouth

Body control and everything

I love her, I need her, I seed her

Yeah, she turns me on

Alright, hold on tight

I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head

I got speed inside my brain

Nobody gonna steal my head

Now that I'm on the road again

Ooh, I'm in heaven again

I've got everything

Like a moving ground

An open road and everything

I love it and I need it, I seed it

Eight cylinders all mine

Alright, hold on tight

I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my car

I'm gonna race it to the ground

Nobody gonna beat my car

It's gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it's a killing machine

It's got everything

Like a driving power

Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it

Yeah, it's a mad hurricane

Alright, hold on tight

I'm a highway star

I'm a highway star

I'm a highway star

[Verse 1]

Black night is not right

I don't feel so bright

I don't care to sit tight

[Chorus]

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line

That I'm free, free to be me

Black night is a long way from home

[Verse 2]

I don't need a dark tree

I don't want a rough sea

I can't feel, I can't see

[Chorus]

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line

That I'm free, free to be me

Black night is a long way from home

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Black night, black night

I don't need black night

I can't see dark light

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line

That I'm free, free to be me

Black night is a long way from home

[Guitar Solo/Outro]

The sky is red, I don't understand

Past midnight I still see the land

People are sayin' the woman is damned

She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

The city's ablaze, the town's on fire

The woman's flames are reaching higher

We were fools, we called her liar

All I hear is, "Burn"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm

She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn

When I leave there's no return "

The people laughed till she said, "Burn"

Warning came, no one cared

Earth was shakin', we stood and stared

When it came, no one was spared

Still I hear, "Burn"

You know we had no time

We could not even try

You know we had no time

You know we had no time

We could not even try

You know we had no time

The sky is red, I don't understand

Past midnight I still see the land

People are sayin' the woman is damned

She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

Warning came, no one cared

Earth was shakin, we stood and stared

When it came, no one was spared

Still I hear, "Burn"

Sweet child in time

You'll see the line

The line that's drawn between

Good and bad

See the blind man

Shooting at the world

Bullets flying

Oh, taking toll

If you've been bad

Oh, Lord, I bet you have

And you've not been hit

Oh, by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes

Oh

Bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

Sweet child in time

You'll see the line

The line that's drawn between

Good and bad

See the blind man

Shooting at the world

Bullets flying

Oh, taking toll

If you've been bad

Lord, I bet you have

And you've not been hit

Oh, by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes

Oh

Bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

You're lazy, you just stay in bed

You're lazy, you just stay in bed

You don't want no money, you don't want no bread

If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw, no, no

If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw

You don't want to live, you don't want to cry no more

Well my trying ain't done no good

I said, my trying ain't done no good

You don't make no effort, no, not like you should

Lazy, you just stay in bed

Lazy, you just stay in bed

You don't want no money, you don't want no bread

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

I got a certain little girl she's on my mind

No doubt about it she looks so fine

She's the best girl that I ever had

Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Hush, hush

I thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

they got it early in the morning

(Love, love) they got it late in the evening

(Love, love) well, I want that, need it

(Love, love) oh, I gotta gotta have it

She's got loving like quicksand

Only took one touch of her hand

To blow my mind and I'm in so deep

That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Listen hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

they got it early in the morning

(Love, love) they got it late in the evening

(Love, love) well, I want that, need it

(Love, love) oh, I gotta gotta have it

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

Somebody, somebody

Come to my side

I'm tired, I'm crying

I'm sick inside

My woman, that woman

Just wasn't right

Help me now, please, my friend

I never felt so bad before

Never, never before

So funny, so funny

Just like a show

One name, two people

All in a row

Somebody, somebody

Someone must go

Help me now, please, my friend

I never felt so bad before

Never, never before

I was hurt when I was younger

By a woman who was cold

She took my name

She took my body

And she threw away my soul

Can't hide, I can't hide my misery

I know my sorrow won't set me free

She did it, d'you see? She did it to me

Help me now, please, my friend

I never felt so bad before

Never, never before

There once was a woman

A strange kind of woman

The kind that gets written down in history

Her name was Nancy

Her face was nothing fancy

She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her

Everybody loved her

She loved everyone, and gave them good return

I tried to take her

I even tried to break her

She said, "I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn?"

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, oh

She looked like a raver

But, I could never please her

On Wednesday mornings, boy, you can't go far

I couldn't get her

But things got better, she said

Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, my soul, I love you

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She finally said she loved me

I wed her in a hurry

No more callers, and I glowed with pride

I'm dreaming

I feel like screaming

I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

Once I had a dream

To sing before the queen

She didn't want to know

She wouldn't see the show

What a fright

I couldn't do it right

Oh what a night

Mystic demons fly

All about the sk

With memories of a clown

The saddest show in town

When I was seventeen

Me mother said to me

Be careful what you touch

You shouldn't take so much

I blew my mind

She was so kind

I could have cried

In my mind

I had to fin

A kind of new way

Of being oh so cool

Like a blue blooded

Well studded

English fool

Speak about the past

Times are changing fast

Once I was so weak

I couldn't even speak

Shaking put a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

Spread the word around

The rat is leaving town

The message is a song

The misery is gone

Shaking out a curse

Nothing could be worse

Walking through the door

Who could ask for more

Now I'm free

And I can see

That I am me

Please stay away

Well, we had a lot of luck on Venus

We always had a ball on Mars

We're meeting all the groovy people

We've rocked the Milky Way so far

We danced around with Borealis

We're space truckin' round the the stars

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go Space trucking

Come on, come on, come on

Space trucking

Remember when we did the moonshot

And Pony Trekker led the way

We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop

And everynaut would dance and sway

We got music in our solar system

We're space truckin' round the stars

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go Space trucking

Come on, come on, come on

Space trucking

The fireball that we rode was moving

But now we've got a new machine

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, the freaks said

Man those cats can really swing

They got music in their solar system

They've rocked around the Milky Way

They dance around the Borealice

They're Space Truckin' everyday

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go Space trucking

Come on, come on, come on

Space trucking

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go Space trucking

Come on, come on, come on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Space trucking

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Space trucking

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Fly into the rising sun

Faces, smiling every one

Yeah, she is a whole new tradition, oh

I feel it in my heart

My woman from Tokyo

She makes me see

My woman from Tokyo

She's so good to me

Talk about her like a queen

Dancing in a eastern dream

Yeah, she makes me feel like a river, oh

That carries me away

My woman from Tokyo

She makes me see

My woman from Tokyo

She's so good to me

But I'm at home and I

I just don't belong

So far away from the garden we love

She is what moves in the soul of a dove

Soon I shall see just how black was my night

When we're alone in her city of light

Rising from the neon gloom

Shining like a crazy moon

Yeah, she turns me on like a fire, oh

I get high

My woman from Tokyo

She makes me see

My woman from Tokyo

She's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo

She makes me see

My woman from Tokyo

She's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo

My woman from Tokyo

My woman from Tokyo

My woman from Tokyo

My woman from Tokyo

My woman from Tokyo

I got more than I asked for

There ain't nothin' I need

I took all till I had more

I'm always takin' the lead

Old man shakin' dice down on the street

Try'n to make a livin' somehow

But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out

And I'm gettin' ready right now

You can't hold me

I have told you

Might just take your life

Might just take your life

I've been called by many names

And all of them are bad

I can take it all the same

It's all I've ever had

I've got somethin' that you can't get

But one thing you can see

Gettin' there ain't easy

But it sure was hard for me

You can't hold me

I have told you

Might just take your life

Might just take your life

Every time I take a look

There's someone close behind

They never used to make a pass

The things that crossed their minds

Now they tell me that it's all right

And they want to be my friend

They're ridin' on my back

When is it goin' to end?

You can't hold me

I have told you

Might just take your life

Might just take your life

Might just take your life

Got more than I asked for

Got more than I need

Got more than I asked for

Got more than I need

Got more than I asked for

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly

When she was rockin' in the house of blue light

Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty

When she was rockin' to the east and west

Lucille was oh so real

When she didn't do her daddies will

Come on baby, drive me crazy - do it, do it

I'm a speed king you got to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid

Gonna fool about ain't gonna save

Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll

Gonna have a party to save my soul

Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man

They been causing trouble since it all began

Take a little rice take a little beans

Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king you got to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me fly

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly

When she was rockin' in the house of blue light

Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty

When she was rockin' to the east and west

Hard-headed woman and a soft-hearted man

They been causing trouble since it all began

Take a little rice take a little beans

Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king you got to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me fly

I'm a speed king you got to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me...

I'm a speed king you got to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me fly

Comin' out of nowhere

Drivin' like rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow

Crack the sky

Stormbringer coming

Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

He's got nothing you need

He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker

On a stallion twister

Bareback rider

On the eye of the sky

Stormbringer coming down

Meaning to stay

Thunder and lightning

Heading your way

Ride the rainbow

Crack the sky

Stormbringer coming

Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

He's got nothing you need

He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere

Drivin' like a-rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

Cause it's coming your way

No-one sees the things you do

Because I stand in front of you

But you drive me all the time

Put the evil in my mind

Used to sing and say my prayers

Live my life without a care

Now I have become a fool

Because I listened to the mule

How can I change when my mind is a friend

Of a Lucifer hid in the ground

Just another slave for the mule

The day is gone

When the angels come to stay

And all the silent whispers

Will be blown away

Lying in the corner

A pair of high heel shoes

Hanging on the wall

Gold and silver for the blues

One too many wasted sunsets

One too many for the road

And after dark the door is always open

Hoping someone else will show

Someone is waiting behind an unlocked door

Grey circles overhead empties on the floor

The cracks in the walls have grown too long

The slow hand is dragging on

Afraid to meet the dawn

One too many wasted sunsets

One too many for the road

And after dark the door is always open

Hoping someone else will show
