Machu Picchu

Lyrics

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
 
 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
