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 carAs 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 thisCheckin' 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 didThrowing 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 hillsYeah, they made lots of money
Playing folk guitar
'Cos everywhere the boys went crazy
Just to hear these words of artCheckin' 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
Fireworks in the skyThey're coming to get you
They're coming to get you now
Coming to get you nowThey're coming to get you
(Coming to get you now)
(Coming)
They're coming to get you now
(Right now)
Coming to get you now
(Coming, they're coming)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
Fireworks in the skyWatch the sky
Watch the sky, ohh
