Machu Picchu Lyrics

Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice

Selling your body to the street
Selling your girlfriend's to the night for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with this 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 tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb

Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours in someone else's voice
And now you 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

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

All right
Why are you waiting beyond the door?

Life turns to dust
And rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth
And money paid 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
