Albert Hammond Jr - Machu Picchu Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And now you've seen that
[Chorus 2]
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

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

[Interlude]
Why are you waiting beyond the door?

[Chorus 3]
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
