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 - the crowd goes wild
at her fingertips; half moonshine, a full eclipse.
 
I'm not trying to exaggerate
but 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 L.A.,
they all want to 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 brakes, 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.
