Cover art for Machu Picchu lyrics by Strokes, The

Putting your patience to the test Putting you body on the line for less Didn't you know it was a choice It's never yours but with someone else's voice

Slipping your body to the street Serving your girlfriends to the knife, and cheat Wearing a jacket made of meat Ascending a ladder with with horse's feet

And now you think that

Words turn to grey Life in the shade A violent clock And that's all you would say Lightning's on the rise Playthings in the sky I'm just trying to find A mountain I can climb

Putting your patience to test Putting your body on the line for less Didn't you know it was a choice It's never yours and someone else's voice

And now you see that

Words turn to grey Life in the shade A violent clock And that's all you would say Born on the rise Circles in disguise I'm just trying to find A mountain I can climb

Tell us, when are they gonna Tell us, we're gonna be Oh so jealous We're gonna be always silent

I didn't wanna hurt you baby I didn't wanna love you

Alright

Why are you waiting In the dark

Life turns to dust Our waiting turns to rust Gossip is the truth Right before the night you took off Don't act so surprised ... I'm just trying to find Enough space for you and I

Erm correction,

"Our waiting turns and runs"
