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, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water

They burned down the gamblin' house,

It died with an awful sound
and 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, a 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 and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
Just a small town girl with her whole life packed
In a suitcase by her feet

But somehow the lights didn't

shine as bright as they did
On her mama's TV screen

And the work seemed harder

The days seemed longer
Than she ever thought they'd be

But you know you got to stick to your guns

When it all comes down
Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win
Tails you're gonna lose

Chorus:
Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--livin' out of lies
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life

Now she found herself in the fast lane livin' day to day
Turned her back on her best friends
And watched the family slip away

Just like a lost soul

caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines

Such a good actress hiding all her pain

Trading her memories for fortune and fame

Just a step away from the edge of a fall

Caught between heaven and hell
Where's the girl I knew a year ago

Chorus

Too much too soon

Or just a little too late
Cause when the ship came in
She wasn't there and it just wouldn't wait

Solo, chorus out

It's been a long time since I rock-and-rolled

It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back
mm-baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has

It's been a long time since the book of love

I can't count the tears of a life with no love
A-carry me back, carry me back, carry me back
mm-baby, where I come from,whoa-whoa, whoa-oh-oh-hoh
Its been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Hoh, it's been so long since we walked in the moonlight

a-making vows that just can't work right
Haw-haw, yeah, open your arms, open your arms, open your arms
Baby let my love come runinng in, a-yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Yeah, hey, yay, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey

Ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

Words by Van Halen)

I get up, and nothing gets me down.

i like to jump. and then go round and round
And I know, just how it feels.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I'm getting ready for a soccer scene I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump !

Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.

Hey you ! Who said that ?

Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know
until you begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I'm getting ready for a soccer scene
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump. Jump!

(keyboard solo)

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move,

Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing,
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way,
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh

I gotta walk, can't stand still,

Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all through my head.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby,

Tell me would you do me now.
Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby,
Move me while you groove me now

Take too long b'fore I found out

What people mean by down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friend she' goin' be a star.
I don't know, but I've been told
A Big legged woman ain't got no soul

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, ah
All I ask for, All I pray,
Steady lonely woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

Ahhhhhh!

Ooooh-ahhhh

Close enough to look in my eyes, Sharona.

Running down the length of my thighs, Sharona
