Out Of The Sun

Lyrics

[JOHNNY, spoken] You're Thinking about Donna, right? [TOMMY, spoken] Remember how she'd lie out here, with the Sidney Sheldon books and coconut oil? [JOHNNY, spoken] She couldn't get enough [TOMMY, spoken] All day, every day. Right after breakfast, always at the same spot, by the shallow end [sung] When we're young, we think that we're invincible We act like we know all there is to know We pop our pills, or smoke our dope And never realize that hope Is just a visitor, a guest star on the show When we're young, we don't know from impossible We put our faith in moxie and romance But when it's ripped away, tossed out the door It strips your innocence right to the core And soon you spend your time just wishing for A second chance I never knew, I never guessed That what could kill you is the thing you love the best I should have gotten her out of the sun When she reclined, clouds disappeared She smelled like coconuts from all the oil she shmeared I should have gotten her out of the sun But she was beautiful, beyond compare Roasting like a chicken in her chair Look at how the colour of her hair Changes as the day burns on She wore no Coppertone, she wore no hat The doctors swore they never saw skin look like that Like a saddlebag Ooh, saddlebag... I was a fool So blind and deaf I might have saved her with a higher S.P.F But now she's gone, what's past is past What's done is done! Could I feel rottener? I wish I'd gotten 'er out of the sun
