I Kill Cameron - Checking Out of the Neutral Milk Hotel/Don't Want A Lover - Acoustic/Ukulele

[Verse 1]
The flesh of your spirit's been infected by the bad times
And your daydreams they are powered by the steam that I instill
How does that make your mother feel
As she taps out the rhythm of the sewing needle
Stitching up the battle scars and cuts
From the double-edged sword that was our love? Oh-woah

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish our friends could talk over the love we found that day
I wish those pills taking sad lives
Instead could make our loved ones stay
[Chorus]
Oh I need to stop making wishes on the stars in other people's eyes
Cause if they're not falling for me
Well then I'm just praying to vacant satellites

[Verse 2]
And I've smoked a million spirits as I've sat here longing, wishing
Cause there's no eternal sunshine, my minds anything but spotless
It's littered with the image of your promises and lies
I swear I'll always love you though you're miserable and thoughtless, oh
Well your fertilized soil only gave me weeds
I let 'em take root in my flower bed
I let them massacre my heart and head
And they loved me better than you ever did, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish the things that gave us life were easier to see
I hope you always remember
All bliss stems from catastrophe

[Chorus]
Oh I need to stop making wishes on the stars in other people's eyes
Cause if they're not falling for me
Well then I'm just praying to vacant satellites

[Bridge]
No, I don't want a lover that I have to call
No, I don't want a lover that I have to call
I'm an Unempathetic, I'm an Unempathetic, oh
I don't want a lover on a pedestal
Cause I always knock 'em down feelin' like a fool
It's so pathetic, it's so pathetic, oh
[Outro]
No, I don't want a lover that I have to call
No, I don't want a lover that I have to call
I don't want a lover that I have to call, oh
I don't want a lover, I don't want a lover
I don't want a lover, I don't want a lover, Mmm
