| Listen to The Strokes' track "Machu Picchu" from their fourth studio album Angles. Official 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 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 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 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, aren't you 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 you to have to ask anybody baby, Is anybody asking maybe? Can anyone 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.
