New to town with a made up
name in the angel city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes, make it
look like a dream.
u had it figured out since you
were in school.
Everybody loves pretty, everybody
loves cool.
So overnight u look like a
sixties’ queen.
Another name goes up in lights,
like diamonds in the sky.
And they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one.
But can u tell me now, you’re
the lucky one.
Now it’s big black cars, and
Riviera views,
And your lover in the foyer
doesn’t even know you
And your secrets end up
splashed on the news front page.
And they tell u that you’re
lucky.
But you’re so confused,
Cause u don’t feel pretty, you
just feel used.
And all the young things line up
to take your place.
Another name goes up in lights.
u wonder if you’ll make it out
alive.
And they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one.
Can u tell me now, you’re the
lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
It was a few years later, I
showed up here.
And they still tell the legend of
how u disappeared,
How u took the money and
your dignity, and got the hell out.
They say u bought a bunch of
land somewhere,
Chose the Rose Garden over
Madison Square,
And it took some time, but I
understand it now.
‘Cause now my name is up in
lights, but I think u got it right,
Let me tell u now, you’re the
lucky one.
Let me tell u now, you’re the
lucky one.
Let me tell u now, you’re the
lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
And they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one.
Yeah, they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one.
And they’ll tell u now, you’re
the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh.
