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! |
