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!
