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 a blaze, 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!" |

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, got more than I need. |

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated. Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have. I've been lonely, I've been cold. I've been looking for a woman to have and hold 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated. Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing, I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe. I've been mistreated, I've been abused. I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused 'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh. Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing, I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe. Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman. I've been losing my mind. |

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 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, fire in the sky 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, fire in the sky 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 and a few old beds We make a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water, fire in the sky |

You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me. If I find you with some other man you know what I'm gonna do. Better run if you see me comin', ah. Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before. When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes. If you think you're gonna take me for granted, chasin' round with all you see, gonna make you live to regret it, ah. You fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone. So clear to see you've had all your chances with me. You thought that you could take me for granted but I couldn't take it no more. Better run when you see me comin, ah. |
