Verse 1]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 sixties queen
[Pre-Chorus]Another name goes up in lightsLike diamonds in the sky
[Chorus]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
[Verse 2]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
[Pre-Chorus]Another name goes up in lightsYou wonder if you’ll make it out alive
[Chorus]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, ohOh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]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
[Pre-Chorus]‘Cause now my name is up in lightsBut I think you got it right
[Chorus]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 one, oh, oh, ohYeah, 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 one, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
