"to tread water" is an idiom, that means doing something/being active without making any progress.

water candy

Kids: "Yeah!"

Smoke on the water

Old folks from the country, generally in the south, use to say on nights where there was mist/fog over a swamp, pond, river or lake that the devil was raising hell under water. The saying "there is going to be smoke on the water tonight" came from that and means something is about to go down or someone is getting ready to raise hell. The saying predates the rock song by deep purples but I doubt they intended that meaning in their song. I believe their song is about a fire at a hotel.

If them MFs don't have my money theres gonna be some smoke on the water. I.e. I'm gonna raise hell.
