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
Now 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?
His songs of silver arrows
They tried to roll into gold
With diamond tips
From painted lips
Designed and ready to be sold
So whatever happened?
Yeah, whatever happened
To Benny Santini?
Whatever happened
To the guy on the wall?
Where did he go to
If he could not fall off
I tell you they don't know
They don't know at all
So whatever happened
To Benny Santini?
Yeah, whatever happened
To the guy on the wall?
Now, where did he go to
If he could not fall off
I tell you they don't know
No, they don't know at all
Yeah, whatever happened
To Benny Santini?
Whatever happened
To the guy on the wall?
