I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too
I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too

Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm Homosapien too

And you're Homosapien too
And we're Homosapiens too
And you're Homosapien too

And the world filled with age are a stage where we act out our lies
And the words in the script seem to fit 'cept we have some surprise
I just want this to last all our dreams dreaming past are all gone
And if this is the case then I'm losing trace from now on

I'm a shy boy
You're a coy boy
And you know we're
Homosapien too

I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Me and you sir
Homosapien too

Homosuperior
In my interior
But from the skin out
I'm Homosapien too

And you're Homosapien too
And we're Homosapiens too
And you're Homosapien too

And I think of your eyes in the dark and I see the star
When I look to the light and I might wonder right where you are
All the gods in the sky way up high see the earth spinning 'round
But the sun and the moon and the stars are so far from the ground

I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
Homosuperior
In my interior

Yeah I'm the cruiser
You're the loser
I'm the shy boy
You're the coy boy
Yeah I'm a shy boy
I'm a shy boy
Well I'm a shy boy
I'm a shy boy
Shy boy...
Shy boy...
