| 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! |
