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
Those 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 finger tips
Half-moon, shrine
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 stay
This town is fake, but
You're the real thing
Breath of fresh air
Good small greens
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
Think it's just soft
Will they let you know
It's hell on earth
To be heavenly
Bends or 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
