Stranger's Kiss (Duet with Angel Olsen) - Alex Cameron, Angel Olsen

Don’t even bother climbing out of the well

That ain’t no way to get out of the hell that you’re in

If you wanna see the back of it, girl

You better start digging down with your pail of tin

I got shat on by an eagle, baby

Now I’m king of the neighborhood

And it feels like I could

Just peel the gym pants off a single mother

But this run of good luck don’t got me feeling all that good

And it hurts, and it hurts

But I don’t wanna talk about it

'Cause in my dreams, I miss you

Then I wake up to reality’s bliss

Now all I ever wanted and all I ever needed is right here

In the stranger’s kiss

Don’t bother flying when we jump off the cliff

Make sure it’s head first if you don’t want to deal with what ifs

I know you’re wondering if you’ll feel it again

Just keep on digging it down with your pail of tin

No shame in sleeping with the seagulls, baby

This town’s a tourist trap, it’s no place to be in

They made a meme out of my legacy, darling

My hands are caught in the net and they’re pale and thin

And it hurts, and it hurts

Well I don’t wanna talk about it

'Cause in my dreams, I miss you

And I wake up to reality’s bliss

All I ever wanted and all I ever needed was right here

In the stranger’s kiss

Me and Roy, we got a pretty mean posse

With a Down syndrome Jew from the real estate crew

He keeps me busy with a shift now and then

But it don’t ever really stop me from thinking of you

I know you’re wondering why you wish you were dead

And there’s no solace in the fact that it’s all in your head

Try not to focus on the pain that you’re in

Just keep on digging down with your pail of tin

If it hurts, but it hurts

But I don’t wanna talk about it

'Cause in my dreams, I miss you

And I wake up to reality’s bliss

All I ever wanted and all I ever needed is right here

In the stranger’s kiss

'Cause in my dreams, I miss you

And I’ll just stick 'em right there in the bin

Thought I needed buckets of gold

But all I needed was a dirty little pail of tin
