The Strokes ☆ Machu Picchu

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



Slippin’ your body through the street

I’m sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheat

Wearing a jacket, play the meat

Sending a letter … so sweet



And now you’ve heard that

Weathers turn to grey

Life in the shade

A violent cloud

And that’s on USA

… on the rise

… in the sky

I’m just trying’ 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?

And it’s never yours and someone else’s voice



And now you’ve seen that

… grey

Life in the shade

A violent cloud

And that’s on US

Porn/Born on the rise

Circles in the skies



I’m just tryin’ to find

A mountain I can climb



(Tell us

Can … tell us

… is so jealous

… is so silent

… is always silent



Can … tell us

… is so jealous

… is so silent

… is always silent



Can … tell us

… is so jealous)



I didn’t wanna love you, baby

I didn’t wanna love you

And everybody saw me

And even if they knew me

Can anyone even love me?



Aww, right



Why are you waitin’?





Life turns to dust

And when it turns to rust

That’s it … true

…



And why do you look surprised?

Ever since I’m in the skies

I’m just tryin’ to find

A space for you and I
