The Strokes - Machu Picchu lyrics

Artist: The Strokes

album: Angles


I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice

Sellin' your body to the street
Sending your girlfriend's to the night, for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
And now you've heard that
Waves turn to grey, life in the shade
A violent crime and that's the USA
Platinum's on the rise, playboys in disguise
I'm just trying to find a mountain I can climb

I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
And now you've seen that
Blondes turn to grey, life in the shade
A violent crime and that's the USA
Porn's on the rise, psycho's in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find a mountain I can climb

Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us
They're gonna be oh so jealous
We're gonna be oh so silent
They're gonna be stoned in silence
(I didn't want to ask you baby?)
I didn't want to have to ask anyone baby
Is anyone asking maybe
(Can anyone hear this?)

Why are you waiting beyond the door?

Life turns to dust and rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth and money pays for the lies we trust
Your love is a surprise
Homeless saints are in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find a nice place for you and I
