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
te had it figured out since te were in school
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool
So over night, te look like a sixties queen
Another name goes up in lights
Like diamonds in the sky

And they'll tell te now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell te now, you're the lucky one
But can te 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 te that you're lucky but you're so confused
'Cause te don't feel pretty, te just feel used
And all the young things line up to take your place
Another name goes up in lights
te wonder if you'll make it out alive

And they'll tell te now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell te now, you're the lucky one
Can te 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 te disappeared
They took the money and your dignity and got the hell out

They say te 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 te got it right

Let me tell te now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell te now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell te now, you're the lucky one
Oh, oh, oh

Yeah, they'll tell te now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell te now, you're the lucky one
Can te tell me now, you're the lucky one?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
