[Verse 1: nOrikO]
Sometimes I feel that you must know everything
But mostly I know a man is always a man
And though you've taken the time to understand the things of the heart
And though he cares only about one thing
I know a man is a man is a man is a man...
No matter how many lines he has on his face

[Chorus: Momus]
Don’t be so shy
Locked up in your mind
What will it take
To make you happy
What will you find
In a house with drawn blinds
Come out of your shell
And start to live your life

[Verse 2: nOrikO]
For me it's all or nothing
Either selfishness or sensitivity
Open to the feelings of those around me
Or enclosed in a walled garden of my own making
Indifferent to the world
I am drawn to your experience
As if it were my only connection
With the land of the living
[Bridge: nOriko]
One day I will meet you maybe
On the day the shy will meet the shy
Til' then I’ll be a baby
Incommunicado draw the blind

[Chorus: Momus]
Don't be so shy
Locked up in your mind
What will it take
To make you happy
What will you find
In a house with drawn blinds
Come out of your shell
And start to live your life

[Verse 3: nOrikO]
He's younger than you
And I love him with a physical love
As if possessed by something which in the end
Will estrange me I know from myself
And so as time goes by I become less shy
And my hands have hardened against these thorns

[Chorus: Momus]
Don't be so shy
Locked up in your mind
What will it take
To make you happy
What will you find
In a house with drawn blinds
Come out of your shell
And you'll be happy
What will you find
In a house with drawn blinds
Don't be so shy
And you'll be happy

Here in your mind
It's a house with drawn blinds
Come out of your shell
And start to live again
