Fireworks - Roxette

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’outMakin’love I like watchin’allYour fireworksI like it when

I light those starsIn your eyesJust like fireworks in the sky

— Yes I 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

Yeah they made lots of money

Playing folk guitar

Cos everywhere

The boys went crazy

Just to hear these words of art:

Checkin’in checkin’outtake it to the skyMakin’love I like watchin’allYour

fireworksI like it when I light those starsIn your eyesJust like fireworks in the skyFireworks in the sky

They’re coming to get you

They’re coming to get you now

Coming to get you now

Watch the sky!
