Ethel Cain - Vacancy lyrics

I used to meet you once my dad was in bed
In your room at the motel down by i-10
You’ve been there since i met you
You still haven’t left yet
It’s as good of a home in
This town that you can get

We’d go out to the bar
Get fucked up til my makeup smeared
Then come back, do whatever we wanted
Cause god can’t see us Here
We would climb to the rooftop, dance naked
And talk about Jumping off
Then climb down, let you do
What you want to me, don’t stop

I woke up on that sunday to
News that they got you
We both knew it would end on
The day that they caught you
You shot yourself in the head as
They battered your door through
"Highway killer" babe
That’s what they called you

I skipped town, i don’t wanna be seen
If they come around asking
Questions to my family
About why there’s all these traces of me
On your dirty motel sheets i’m sorry, baby
I’m sorry i’m sorry
Please don’t hate me

If i had never met you
I would graduate next week
If i had never met you
I never would have seen the
Bodies by the Creek if i had never met you
I’d never know how bad a corpse stinks
But now you’re gone
And the light’s back on at
The motel reading Vacancy
