Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? |
They say his chances could not have been better |
All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky |
Laughing at the peering faces |
From the windows of a limousine |
Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens |
So whatever happened? |
I can see him now, his face lit up in neon |
One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd |
His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold |
With diamond tips from painted lips |
Designed and ready to be sold |
They say he could not fall off |
They say he could not fail |
The wealth and fame would fire his flame |
Just as soon as his ship set sail |
So whatever happened? |
Whatever happened to Benny Santini? |
Whatever happened to the guy on the wall? |
Where did he go to if he could not fall off |
They tell you they don’t know |
They don’t know at all |
