Machu Picchu |
| I’m putting your patience to the test |
| I’m 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 |
| Sellin' your body to the street |
| Sending your girlfriends 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 |
| Sleeping in the sky |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Psychos 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?) |
| 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 |
