Machu Picchu
Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi
I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm 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
Sellin' your body to the street
Sending your girlfriends 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
Sleeping in the sky
I'm just tryin' 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
Didn't you know there was a choice?
And it's never yours and someone else's voice
And now you've seen that
Blondes turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's the USA
Porn's on the rise
Psychos 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 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 to have to ask anybody, baby
Is anyone asking maybe?
Can anyone even hear me?
Alright
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
I'm putting your patience to the test
Sto mettendo alla prova la tua pazienza
I'm putting your body on the line for less
Sto mettendo il tuo corpo in gioco per meno
Didn't you know there was a choice?
Non sapevi che c'era una scelta?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
Non è mai la tua ma la voce di qualcun altro
Sellin' your body to the street
Vendendo il tuo corpo alla strada
Sending your girlfriends to the night for cheap
Mandando le tue amiche nella notte a buon mercato
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Indossando una giacca fatta di carne
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
Sigillando una lettera fatta con i piedi di un cavallo
And now you've heard that
E ora hai sentito che
Waves turn to grey
Le onde diventano grigie
Life in the shade
La vita all'ombra
A violent crime
Un crimine violento
And that's the USA
E quello è gli USA
Platinum's on the rise
Il platino è in aumento
Sleeping in the sky
Dormendo nel cielo
I'm just tryin' to find
Sto solo cercando di trovare
A mountain I can climb
Una montagna che posso scalare
I'm putting your patience to the test
Sto mettendo alla prova la tua pazienza
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
Sto mettendo il tuo corpo in gioco, per meno
Didn't you know there was a choice?
Non sapevi che c'era una scelta?
And it's never yours and someone else's voice
E non è mai la tua e la voce di qualcun altro
And now you've seen that
E ora hai visto che
Blondes turn to grey
Le bionde diventano grigie
Life in the shade
La vita all'ombra
A violent crime
Un crimine violento
And that's the USA
E quello è gli USA
Porn's on the rise
Il porno è in aumento
Psychos in disguise
Psicopatici in maschera
I'm just tryin' to find
Sto solo cercando di trovare
A mountain I can climb
Una montagna che posso scalare
Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us
Tesoro, nessuno ci dirà
They're gonna be oh-so jealous
Saranno oh così gelosi
We're gonna be oh-so silent
Saremo oh così silenziosi
They're gonna be stoned in silence
Saranno pietrificati nel silenzio
I didn't want to ask you, baby
Non volevo chiedertelo, baby
I didn't want to have to ask anybody, baby
Non volevo dover chiedere a nessuno, baby
Is anyone asking maybe?
Qualcuno sta chiedendo forse?
Can anyone even hear me?
Qualcuno può anche sentirmi?
Alright
Va bene
Why are you waiting beyond the door?
Perché stai aspettando oltre la porta?
Life turns to dust
La vita si trasforma in polvere
And rain turns to rust
E la pioggia si trasforma in ruggine
Gossip is a truth
Il pettegolezzo è una verità
And money pays for the lies we trust
E il denaro paga per le bugie in cui confidiamo
Your love is a surprise
Il tuo amore è una sorpresa

Nunca é sua, mas a voz de outra pessoa
Sellin' your body to the street
Vendendo seu corpo para a rua
Sending your girlfriends to the night for cheap
Enviando suas namoradas para a noite por um preço barato
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Vestindo uma jaqueta feita de carne
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
Selando uma carta feita com pés de cavalo
And now you've heard that
E agora você ouviu isso

Ondas se tornam cinzas
Life in the shade
Vida na sombra

Why are you waiting beyond the door?
Por que você está esperando além da porta?
Life turns to dust
A vida se transforma em pó
And rain turns to rust
E a chuva se transforma em ferrugem
Gossip is a truth
