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' out1 
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. 

 [bad word] to get you 
 [bad word] to get you now  [bad word] to get you now 
Watch the sky!
