Strangers - Ethel Cain

"God is telling you and I there is death, for all of us

But then we find that the scriptures also tell us that we have a great promise, that there is a better place for those who believe in the lord Jesus Christ"

In your basement, I grow cold

Thinking back to what I was always told

"Don't talk to strangers or you might fall in love"

Freezer bride, your sweet divine

You devour like smoked bovine hide

How funny, I never considered myself tough

You're so handsome, walking over to me now

I tried to be good

Am I no good?

Am I no good?

Am I no good?

With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence

I just wanted to be yours

Can I be yours?

Can I be yours?

Just tell me I'm yours

If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick

Oh, no, no, no

No, no

No, no

When my mother sees me on the side

Of a milk carton in Winn-Dixie's dairy aisle

She'll cry and wait up for me

We'll make love in your attic all night

Euphoric in some strange delight

I'm happier here 'cause he told me I should be, oh

You're so handsome when I'm all over your mouth

(When I'm all over your mouth, when I'm all over your mouth)

I tried to be good

Am I no good?

Am I no good?

Am I no good?

With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence

I just wanted to be yours

Can I be yours?

Can I be yours?

Just tell me I'm yours

If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick

Am I making you feel sick?

Ah

Am I making you feel sick?

Am I making you feel

Am I making you feel sick?

Am I making you feel

Am I making you feel sick?

Am I making you feel sick?

Am I making you feel sick?

Am I making you feel sick?

No

Found you just to tell you that I made it real far

And that I never blamed you for loving me the way that you did

While you were torn apart

I would still wait with you there

Don't think about it too hard

Or you'll never sleep a wink at night again

Don't worry 'bout me and these green eyes

Mama, just know that I love you (I do)

And I'll see you when you get here
