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' outMakin' love I like watchin' allYour fireworksI like it when I light those starsIn your eyesJust like fireworks in the sky
- Yes I 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
Yeah they made lots of money Playing folk guitar Cos everywhere The boys went crazy Just to hear these words of art:
Checkin' in checkin' outtake it to the skyMakin' love I like watchin' allYour fireworksI like it when I light those starsIn your eyesJust like fireworks in the skyFireworks in the sky
They're coming to get you They're coming to get you now Coming to get you now
