turn away the collar because the blowing is dry walk away to the harbour before your ships will fly slip away and the pillow because it′s falling off down trot away and around because your ships are found somewhere over the water next to a harbour someone′s eager to listen turn away the collar because your ships will fly slip away and the pillow because it′s falling off down trot away and around because your ships are found somewhere over the water next to a harbour someone to be in...
I could tell by the look in her eyes Maybe I′m just one of her lies ′Cause I know we′ve been through this so many times Still I′m here though I′m burning up inside
[Chorus:] And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself She′s the one for me ′Cause her love is so contagious It keeps pulling me in We were meant to be And I can′t leave her We′re right back in the water
I could tell by the look in her eyes All my friends keep telling me now′s the time But I know Just the notion saying goodbye Breaks my heart it tears me up inside
[Chorus]
So we′re right back singing Ooooh, ooooh c′mon, ooooh, ooooh c′mon I wanna walk by but there is something that won′t let me Ooooh, ooooh c′mon, ooooh, ooooh c′mon She′s the one that′s always there I could tell by the look in her eyes Maybe I′m just another one of her lies
We all came out to Montreaux 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 And fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky and 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
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
Drink the water drink it down This time I know I′m bound To spit it back up I didn′t want this Salty substitute, just not going to do I need some air, if I′m going to live through This experience reminds me of a clock That just won′t tick
I want to wake up From this concussion But my dream is just not done I′m late again, It′s just one of those Bad days look outside and Be careful what you ride You just might find That you′re out of time To swim ashore If I drift long enough I′ll be home
He′s got delusions between his ears Man it takes up too much space And all that tension between his gears man He′ll never ever leave this place He′s got stones instead of bones And everybody knows That can make you real real slow And if heaven was below He′d know just where to go Dive in the ocean And he′d sink like a stone And he′d say It′s time to swim ashore If I drift long enough I′ll be home
Hold on if you can You′re gonna sink faster Than you can imagine so hold Hold on if you can You′re gonna sink faster Than you can imagine so hold
It′s just time to swim ashore If I drift long enough I′ll be home
What a shame, what a shame so quick Life lost so young and missed When it’s stubbed out suddenly, turned off like the flick of a switch Once you exit out the back door, can’t come round here no more No re-entry no return it’s a lesson hard learned
Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down Burning the water brown and in its depths you will drown
Well he ran around town with Charlie Well Charlie only makes you sorry His tracks all lead to nowhere, still you followed without a care And you never got enough cause you always bought his bluff So afraid to come down that you never got back up
Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down Burning the water brown and in its depths you will drown Burning the water brown six feet deep underground Burning the water brown, will it come again for the next of kin?
You become the company you keep This water brown it puts you to sleep Well you become the company you keep This water brown its rivers run deep
If you go and chase the dragon, If you try to date china white Or if the poison people surround you, it just might end your life
Burning the water brown, it will come to break you down Burning the water brown and in its depths you will drown Burning the water brown, six feet deep underground Burning the water brown, will it come for the next of kin?
The medicine is blending in it′s in the blood with oxygen I need this right now to figure myself out Cutting through the ribbons of self doubt I never thought you′d see me this way You are the worst and I am to blame
Close the door, lock it tight They don′t know you′re safe tonight Turn on a song that means the most Believe im there and hold me close
She is in my bloodstream tonight she′s draining me The room is filled with red′s and blues I follow where she leads into the darkness Trying out my veins, she′s a ghost, a silhouette Calling out my name
These lies we fall into, the pieces I left you Of your favorite picture torn in two I never thought we′d end up this way You are the worst, I am to blame
Close the door, lock it tight They don′t know you′re safe tonight Turn on a song that means the most Believe im there and hold me close
She is in my bloodstream tonight she′s draining me The room is filled with reds and blues I follow where she leads into the darkness Trying out my veins, she′s a ghost, a silhouette Calling out my name
(So close the door and lock it tight Then I′ll know you′re safe tonight Turn on the song that means the most Believe im there and hold me close)
Close the door, lock it tight They don′t know you′re safe tonight Turn on a song that means the most Believe im there and hold me close
She is in my bloodstream tonight she′s draining me The room is filled with reds and blues I follow where she leads into the darkness Trying out my veins, she′s a ghost, a silhouette Calling out my name
