Verse 1
*******
G5                      F5
Paint your lips, things fall apart
C5               D5
Flowers of hate caress my skin
G5                      F5
Spend my time sucked up inside
C5               D5                   D5
Mutilation kick of all you believe in

Chorus
******
F5sG5     G5     G5  G5   D5
Starlover you're just a souvenir
F5sG5     G5     G5  G5   C5 
Starlover you're just another prayer
F5sG5     G5     G5  G5   F5 
Starlover oh you touch me so
Bb5               D5
Feels like faces without kisses

G5   F5  C5  D5

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
*******
Sterile wants spin in my head
I don't need culture, I spit it out
Twist and fall, wounds don't choke
Piss on records, wanna see you dead

Chorus

F5sG5     G5     G5  G5   C5 
Starlover you're just another prayer
F5sG5     G5     G5  G5   F5 
Starlover oh you touch me so
Bb5               D5
A body voice born under torture

Bb5               D5

Middle

E5         C5        E5            C5
Leper cult disciples of a still born Christ
E5        C5                D5
I worship stone so lance my eyes

Verse 3 (same as verse 1)
*******
Miles apart from anyone
Some more air waves of killing oxygen
We queue consuming anything
Hate all songs
Aesthetic slavery now

Chorus (same as Chorus 1)

Starlover you're just a souvenir
Starlover you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
Feels like faces without kisses
