Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I once knew a girl, I can't remember her name
But I remember her face 'cause 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
[Verse 2]
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)
[Verse 3]
Checkin' in, checkin' out
Makin' love while I'm watching all your fireworks
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
Just like the fireworks in the sky
(Yes, it did)
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Yeah, they made lots of money playing folk guitar
'Cause everywhere the boys went crazy
Just to hear these words of art
[Verse 6]
Checkin' in, checkin' out
Take it to the sky
Makin' love while I'm watching all your fireworks
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
Just like the fireworks in the sky
Fireworks in the sky, oh, yeah
[Verse 7]
They're coming to get you
They're coming to get you now
Coming to get you now
They're coming to get you (Coming to get you now)
Coming
They're coming to get you now
Right now
Coming to get you now
Coming now
They're coming
[Verse 8]
Checkin' in, checkin' out
Take it to the sky
Makin' love while I'm watching all your fireworks
I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
Just like the fireworks in the sky
Fireworks in the sky
Aye, aye, aye
Watch the sky
Watch the sky, oh, yeah
