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 dreamYou had it figured out since
You were in school
Everybody loves pretty
Everybody loves cool
So overnite
You look like a '60s queenAnother name goes up in lights
Like diamonds in the skyAnd the'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
But can you tell me now
You're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh...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 pageAnd they tell you that you're lucky
But you're so confused
'Cause you don't feel pretty
You just feel used
And all the young things
Line up to take your placeAnother name goes up in lights
You wonder if you'll make it out aliveAnd they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
Can you 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 you disappeared
You took the money
And your dignity and
Got the hell outThey say you 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 you got it rightLet me tell you now
You're the lucky one
Let me tell you now
You're the lucky one
Let me tell you now
You're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh,Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
Yeah they'll tell you now
You're the lucky one
Can you tell me now
You're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh...
