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
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 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 sometime
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
