New to town with a made-up name
In the angel's 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
New to town with a made-up name
In the angel's 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Another name goes up in lights
Like diamonds in the sky
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Another name goes up in lights
You wonder if you'll make it out alive
[Chorus]
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
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause now my name is up in lights
But I think you got it right
[Chorus]
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
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Yeah, they'll tell you now, you're the lucky one
Let me tell you now, you're the lucky one, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Ny til byen med et sammensat navn
I Angel's City, jagter fortune og berømmelse
Og kameraet blinker gør det til at ligne en drøm
Du havde det regnet ud siden du var i skole
Alle elsker smukke, alle elsker cool
Så natten over ser du ud som en tresserende dronning
[Pre-Chorus]
Et andet navn går op i lys
Som diamanter i himlen
[Kor]
Og de vil fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Ja, de vil fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Men kan du fortælle mig nu, du er den heldige?
Åh, åh, åh
[Vers 2]
Nu er det store sorte biler og riviera visninger
Og din elsker i foyeren kender ikke engang dig
Og dine hemmeligheder ender med at sprøjte på nyhedssiden
Og de fortæller dig, at du er heldig, men du er så forvirret
Fordi du ikke føler dig smuk, du føler dig bare brugt
Og alle de unge ting line op for at tage dit sted
[Pre-Chorus]
Et andet navn går op i lys
Du spekulerer på, om du vil gøre det ud i live
[Kor]
Og de vil fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Ja, de vil fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Men kan du fortælle mig nu, du er den heldige?
Åh, åh, åh
Åh, åh, åh
[Vers 3]
Det var et par år senere, jeg viste mig her
Og de fortæller stadig legenden om, hvordan du forsvandt
Hvordan du tog pengene og din værdighed, og fik helvede ud
De siger, at du købte en flok jord et eller andet sted
Valgte Rose Garden over Madison Square
Og det tog lidt tid, men jeg forstår det nu
[Pre-Chorus]
Årsag nu er mit navn op i lys
Men jeg tror, du har det rigtigt
[Kor]
Lad mig fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Lad mig fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Lad mig fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige, åh, åh, åh
Ja, de vil fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Ja, de vil fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige en
Lad mig fortælle dig nu, du er den heldige, åh, åh, åh
Åh, åh, hvem, åh, åh
