I once knew a girl / I can't remember her name but I remember her face
cos her sister looked the same.

They both left school, but they couldn't find a job /
So they said farewell and stole a small town car.

As they were riding by the beach some summer night /
The radio shouted out one of those songs that might just change
your life /

- It went like this:

'Checkin' in checkin' out /
Making love I like watching all your fireworks /
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes /
Just like fireworks in the sky' / - yes it did...

Throwing some poems to the ports and docks /
They were sleeping outdoors pushing all their luck.

They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills /
Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.

Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar /
Cos everywhere the boys went crazy just to hear these words of art:

'Checkin' in checkin' out / Take it to the sky /
Making love I like watching all your fireworks /
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes /
Just like fireworks in the sky'.

They're coming to get you / They're coming to get you now /
Coming to get you now / Watch the sky!
