Strangers 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

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? Oh
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, oh

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
