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
也许我会就此长眠
No one in my small town
在我生长的那个小镇里
Thought I'd see the lights of Manhattan"

Promise to be dazzling"
发誓要成为绚烂夺目的存在
"You look like Stevie Nicks
你看上去好似史蒂薇·妮克斯
In '75, the hair and lips
那秀发与丰唇仿佛置身一九七五年
Crowd goes wild at her fingertips
举手投足令人群趋之若鹜
Half moonshine, a full eclipse"
半捧惨淡月光终被月全蚀取代

But I think I might die if I made it

Down on all fours

Only when your girlish glow
只有在你少女般的光芒
Flickers just so
迸发之时
Do they let you know?
他们可曾让你知道
It's hell on earth to be heavenly
作为天使般的存在会如同置身人间炼狱
Them's the breaks, they don't come gently
那些破坏狂似的存在他们可不会怀揣着温柔的意图前来
"You look like Taylor Swift

You've got edge she never did
你有她不曾拥有的优势
The future's bright, dazzling"
