The Strokes – Machu Picchu Lyrics 14 years ago
the official lyrics (by Julian's site) are:

Putting you patience to the test
Putting yout 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 streets
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
Platinium's on the rise, playboys in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find a mountain I can climb

Putting you patience to the test
Putting yout body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
And know 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 jelous
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
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
