taylor swift - clara bow / the lucky one lyrics

[part i: clara bow]

[verse 1]
“you look like clara bow
in this light, remarkable
all your life, did you know
you’d be picked like a rose?”

[pre+chorus]
“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”

[chorus]
“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”

[verse 2]
“you look like stevie nicks
in ’75, the hair and lips
crowd goes wild at her fingertips
half moonshine, a full еclipse”
[pre+chorus]
“i’m not trying to exaggeratе
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 l.a
they all wanna say…”

[chorus]
“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”

[part ii: the lucky one]

[verse]
and 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
can you tell me now, you’re the lucky one?
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh

[part iii: clara bow]

[bridge]
beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours
demanding more
only when your girlish glow fl!ckers just so
do they let you know
it’s h+ll on earth to be heavenly
them’s the breaks, they don’t come gently

[part iv: the lucky one]

[verse]
it was a few years later, i turned up here
and they still tell the legend of how you disappeared
how you took the money and your dignity and got the h+ll 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+woah, oh

[part v: clara bow]

[outro]
“you look like taylor swift
in this light, we’re lovin’ it
you’ve got edge, she never did
the future’s bright, dazzling”
