Ethel Cain
Strangers (Demo 1)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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?
Can I be 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
You're so handsome when I’m all over your mouth
[Chorus]
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
[Vocalization]
[Outro]
I tried to be good
But I’m too good
Am I too good?
Was I so good
When you chewed me up and shit me out like every bitch you're done with?
