We all came to Montreux
'Cause the Swiss banks were there too
How to cut a hit record
We didn't have a clue
All the roadies and their mothers
Were at the best place in town
Then someone with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

Dopes on the water
We all know the name
Dopes on the water
And money is the game

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
People were frying right and left
But we had to save the guitars
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Our credit cards were running out
We didn't wanna lose face

Dopes on the water
We all know the name
Dopes on the water
And money is the game
We ended up at a cheap hotel
It was dark and cold and bare
But we set fire to the furniture
We made our music there
With a few more drugs and a case of beer
We really had a place to sweat
I know, I know when we get outta here
We're gonna make sure that you never forget

Dopes on the water
We all know the name
Dopes on the water
And money is the game
