Lyrics

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"
(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!
