| 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.
|
| You had it figured out since you were in school.
|
| Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool.
|
| So overnight you look like a sixties' queen.
|
| Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky.
|
| And they’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.
|
| 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 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 place.
|
| Another name goes up in lights. |
| You wonder if you’ll make it out alive.
|
| And 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,
|
| How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out.
|
| They 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 right,
|
| Let 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.
|
| And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
|
| Yeah, they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
|
| And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one, oh, oh, oh.
|
| Oh, whoa, oh, oh |
