Strangers (demo II) Songtext
von Ethel Cain

But God is telling you and I that 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 (oh, oh)

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 (sick)

Am I making you feel sick? (No)
Am I making you feel sick? (No)
Am I making you feel, am I making you feel sick? (No)


Am I making you feel, am I making you feel sick? (No)
Am I making you feel sick? (Feel sick, 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 about me and these green eyes
Mama, just know that I love you (I love you)
And I′ll see you when you get here
