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 up 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
Making love
I like watching all your fireworks
I like it when
I light up 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

They're coming to get you
They're coming to get you now
They're coming to get you now
Right Now
Coming to get you now

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

Watch the sky!
Watch the sky!
