Another Falling Star

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

It could've been a girl or just one good hand of poker

That could've turned the whole damn thing around

But that July something was lost

And never did get found

He was a 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 deja  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 song 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 says 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

Can 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
