New to town with a made up nameIn the angel's city chasing fortune and fameAnd the camera flashes make it look like a dreamYou had it figured out since you were in schoolEverybody loves pretty, everybody loves coolSo overnight you look like a 60s queen
Another name goes up in lightsLike diamonds in the sky
And they?ll tell you now you're the lucky oneYeah, they?ll tell you now you're the lucky oneBut can you tell me now you're the lucky one?Oh, oh, oh
Now it's big black cars and riviera viewsAnd your lover in the foyer doesn't even know youAnd 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 usedAnd all the young things line up to take your place
Another name goes up in lightsYou wonder if you'll make it out alive
And they?ll tell you now you're the lucky oneYeah, they?ll tell you now you're the lucky oneCan you tell me now you're the lucky one?Oh, oh, oh
It was a few years later I showed up hereAnd they still tell the legend of how you disappearedHow you took the money and your dignity and got the hell outThey say you bought a bunch of land somewhereChose the Rose Garden over Madison SquareAnd it took some time, but I understand it now
'Cause now my name is up in lightsBut I think you got it right
Let me tell you now you're the lucky oneLet me tell you now you're the lucky oneLet me tell you now you're the lucky oneOh, oh, oh
Yeah they?ll tell you now you're the lucky oneYeah, they?ll tell you now you're the lucky oneLet me tell you now you're the lucky oneOh, oh, ohOh, whoa, oh, oh
