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
Selling your body to the street
I'm selling 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 tryin' 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 see 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 anybody baby,
Is anyone asking maybe?
Can anyone even hear me/this shit?
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
