VERSE:(Mute) F5 G5 C5 A5 x3
I知 gonna hide my heart behind the peacock痴 fan,
And keep my friends real close, yeah, this is how it痴 gonna go.

Throw my friends down in the ditches before they even know

I set myself by the west, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the wish, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the voice that I heard.
