It was high July Another Summer On the boardwalk His skin was brown As a rosary bead The year before He was everybody's hero But he was losing ground And gaining speed He could've been a girl But just one good hand of poker That could've turned The whole damn thing around But that July Something was lost That never did get found
He was the sun That was waiting to rise He had the look Of a king in his eyes And everything Everything was possible And now he just laughs And says what the hell And clings to the secret That He'll never tell But I wish in knew What kind of scar Can turn a sun into Just another falling star
Now I get this d?j?-vu And I don't really like it With this friend of mine That can't get it in his brain He's a diamond lost Inside the stone He's a player born To win the game But he's gonna blow it all The brass rings in his finger And I gotta watch As he throws it away He's like a summer That's rare and right That no one's gonna play
He is a sun That is waiting to rise He's got the look Of a king in his eyes And everything Everything is possible And now he just laughs And say's what the hell And clings to the secret That he'll never tell But I wish I knew What kind of scar Can turn a sun into Just another falling star Oh just another falling star
And someone explain it Cause I don't know why Some people live like They're waiting to die And I wish I knew What kind of scar Can turn a sun into Just another falling star Oh just another falling star
