Taylor Swift – “Clara Bow” lyrics

You look like Clara Bow in this light, remarkable
All your life, did you know you’d be picked like a rose?

I’m not trying to exaggerate but I think I might die if it happened
Die if it happened to me
No one in my small town thought I’d see the lights of Manhattan

This town is fake but you’re the real thing, breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory give everything, promise to be dazzling

You look like Stevie Nicks in ‘75, the hair and lips
Crowd goes wild at her fingertips, half moon shine a full eclipse

I’m not trying to exaggerate but I think I might die if I made it
Die if I made it
No one in my small town thought I’d meet these suits in LA, they all wanna say

This town is fake but you’re the real thing, breath of fresh air through smoke rings
Take the glory give everything, promise to be dazzling
The crown is stained but you’re the real queen, flesh and blood amongst war machines
You’re the new god we’re worshipping, promise to be dazzling

Beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours, demanding more
Only when your girlish glow flickers just so do they let you know

It’s hell on earth to be heavenly
Them’s the breaks, they don’t come gently
You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we’re loving it
You’ve got edge, she never did
The future’s bright, dazzling
