Foster The People - Machu Picchu Lyrics

Foster The People Lyrics

"Machu Picchu"
(originally by The Strokes)

Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
Never yours but someone else's voice

Slipping your body through the street
Sending your girlfriends to the night for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sending a letter with war so sweet

And now you've see that
Waves turn to gray
Life in the shade
A violent cloud
That's on USA
Platinum's on the rise
Windows in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb, yeah

Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
Never yours but someone else's voice

And now you see that
Waves turn to gray
Life in the shade
A violent cloud
That's on USA
Porn on the rise
Circles in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb, yeah

Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line, for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
Never yours but someone else's voice
