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 
Oooh it's a killing machine 
It's got everything 
Like a driving power big fat tyres 
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 
Oooh she's a killing machine 
She's 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 
Oooh 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 
Oooh it's a killing machine

Yeah it's a wild hurricane 
Alright hold on tight 
I'm a highway star 
I'm a highway star 
I'm a highway star 
				

Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
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

I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
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

Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark night
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
				

As you watch from your house on the hill
World keeps spinning around you you're standing still
And a thought rivers enters your mind
Something happened once in my life
A fading picture of you that's so hard to describe
I've been where the sun never shines

That's alright there's a change in the story
That's alright there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale

Face in the mirror head in the clouds
Hanging on to a dream that you can't do without
As it drops like a stone without trace
Give what you want take what you need
Squeezing so hard there's no room to breathe
And your flavour has fallen from grace

That's alright there's a change in the story
That's alright there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale

I saw you dancing
Dancing on air
You were lost in the in the starlight
No one but me really cared

Every question turns out a lie
Can't you swallow the truth for once in your life
I loved you but don't ask me why

It's alright there's a change in the story
It's alright there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale 
				

Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past

I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers

I know I must remain inside this silent
well of sorrow

A strand of silver hanging through the
sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in
falling rain)

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers
				

I stood under your bedroom window
Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl
And threw me in the can

You're a farmer's daughter
You're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter

Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here
And do this every night
Wham! The door comes crashing down
Your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
I'll put you in my jail

You're a judge's daughter
You're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter

It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter

Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright
When I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughter's baby's daddy

She's a lucky daughter
Such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get
The kinda girl I didn't wanna get
Now I've got what I always fought for
'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter
				

Sweet child in time you'll see the line 
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad 
See the blind man shooting at the world 
Bullets flying taking toll 
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have 
And you've been hit by flying lead 
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head 
And wait for the ricochet 
				

I'm so far away from everything you know
Your name is carried, carried on the wind
Oh your ice blue waters Anya, where do they flow?
Where have they been? Ah where have they been?
A hidden passion touching a spark
Flame of revolution burning wild in your gypsy heart
Oh your gypsy heart
Anya Anya the spirit of freedom
Anya Anya ooh Anya

The light of freedom buried deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels refuse to dance alone
What do they mean? Oh what do they mean?
Your jewel flashing across the dark
Forbidding distance, I love your gypsy heart
Oh your gypsy heart
Anya Anya the spirit of freedom
Anya Anya ooh Anya

Jewel flashing across the dark
Forbidding distance, I love your gypsy heart
Oh your gypsy heart
Anya Anya the spirit of freedom
Anya Anya ooh Anya
				

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 go 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 

[repeat first two stanzas in inverse order] 
				

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
