  • "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 our 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 need 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" Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift
