Stopped by to look in your window, hoping you're still there.
Scared to death to not see your never changing stare.
I saw you once, I saw you twice, your sailor suit it always looks so nice to me.
Can you know you're everything?
There has to be a way if you could be.
I've got to find a way.
Pick you up and put you down and see you all around.
Cause you're so different.
You're not the average supergirl, but you are to me.
Little anime.
Stood alone with you in my hands, paging through your hair.
Dreaming about every line and curve that you wear.
I saw you black, I saw you white, seeing you in color would be nice for me.
Cause you know you're everything.
There has to be a way, if you could be.
I've got to find a way.
Pick you up and put you down and see you all around.
Cause you're so different.
You're not the average supergirl, but you are to me.
Little anime.
The trees have fallen like I've fallen for you.
The trees have fallen over for you.
There has to be a way if you could be.
I've got to find a way.
Pick you up and put you down and see you all around.
Cause you're so different.
You're not the average supergirl, but you are to me.
Little anime.

Never Be The Same
02:23

Can't get you outta my head, without you I'd rather be dead.
But now I know were through.
We used to stay up all night just to talk or sometimes fight.
I thought it be for good.
And it'll never be the same.
We'd go see our favorite band, go together walking hand in hand.
But now I can't touch you.
We'd go out for some coffee and smokes, sharing secrets and telling jokes.
But now the jokes on you.
And I remember when you looked into my eyes and said.
You'll never run away from me, never run away.
It'll never be the same.
When I think back and realize what we had.
Do you think the same? Do you even think about me?
Can't get you out of my head without you I'd rather be dead.
But now I know it's through.
Saw you just the other day, was waiting for you to say.
That you'll never run away.
And I remember when I looked into your eyes and said.
I'll never run away from you, never run away.
It'll Never be the same.

Loose Truks

I didn't mean to stare, but weren't you a regular out there?
With your methods through the air, hiding from the world without a care.
I wish I could, I want to go back there.
Where ya gone, Where've ya been?
I remember when we were like twins.
Past the looks, past the Chucks.
I guess I've always known you've had loose truks.
I wish the banks were still there, even though we hadn't a dime to spare.
Bodies all through the air, a crash a bash a bail road-rash, everywhere.
I wish I could, I want to go back there.
Where ya gone, Where've ya been?
I remember when we were like twins.
Past the looks, past the Chucks.
I guess I've always known you've had loose truks.
Lost touch, loose truks you finally lost touch.
Loose truks, lost touch, loose truks you finally.
You finally lost, you finally lost touch

What Solomon Said
02:33
|

|
Two years ago today in New York
We met a man who sang to us his song
Through a dirty beard and run-down beat-up clothes
He said, "You can be what you wanna be, you can do what you wanna do"
"You can be anything you want its up to you."
He only asked us for a penny to spare
We gave him much less than what he deserved
He took the change and he went on his way
His words rang through my head, we won't forget we said
You can be anything you want its up to you
And that's what Solomon said, And that's what Solomon said
And that's what Solomon said, And that's what Solomon said
And now I wish that I could see him
Cause he's the one that compelled me to write this song
He'd laugh and smile and then he'd shake my hand
"I told you what you could do, I knew it when I first looked at you"
"You can be anything you want its up to you."
And that's what Solomon said, And that's what Solomon said
And that's what Solomon said, And that's what Solomon said
"Now I don't beg for my money, I earn it,
you see I'm a performer, so here's a song for ya"
And that's what Solomon said, And that's what Solomon said
And that's what Solomon said, And that's what Solomon said

Forever Then
02:23

Summer nights, sitting on my car.
Watching the skies; you and I were all alone.
Forever then time stood still.
Moonlit nights, framing the screens.
The drive-in makes it all seem worth while.
Forever then time stood still.
Forever when forever then.
It was like in that movie, boy meets girl and they go together
It was like in that song, boy sees girl and she was just smiling at me
She wouldn't dance with me.
Brisky nights, wishing on the stars
Watching the skies, you and I were all alone
Forever Then, time stood still
forever when, forever then
It was like in that movie, boy meets girl and they go together
It was like in that song, boy sees girl and she was just smiling at me
She wouldn't dance with me............

Breeze
02:27

I heard your voice in a breeze, it always reminds me of you and me.
So i try to forget that voice, the voice in a breeze of broken vows, hopes or dreams.
The sounds of teenage reverie long, long ago.
Look forward leave it all behind.
Forget me, blow it all away.
Send it into the wind, blow it to the breeze.
I didn't want to say I was wrong.
I smelled your perfume in a breeze,
the scent reminds me of you and me.
So i try to ignore that smell, the smell in the breeze of
roses, clovers, or midnight seas.
The smell of a waning scenery in the fall.
No foilage, just the evergreens.
Forget leaves, they're blown away.
Sent into the wind, blown into the breeze.
It was never meant to be, I didn't even care, what happened to you.
What happened to me, I didn't want to say I was wrong,
you were wrong for me.
Long long ago.
Look forward leave it all behind.
Forget me, blow it all away.
Sent into the wind, blown into the breeze.

At 705
02:24
|

|
I want to get away from the attitudes and things they say.
It's just a fad a trend gone wrong.
A never-ending fight struggling with your ignorant minds.
They're just confused by a trend gone wrong.
A thousand miles away to see what's inside.
You can be yourself at 705.
705, 705, We wanna go back, 70...
What happened to how it was? Being what you were not because of TV, fashions or Seventeen.
Be what you wanna be with some help from MTV.
Originality's gone wrong.
A thousand miles away to see what's inside.
You can be yourself at 705.
705, 705, We wanna go back, 70...
705
We wanna go back.
705
To be yourself.

Now You're Gone

Ever since I read the morning paper, its been killing me inside
You were just a little girl
What'cha do, If only I had talked to you that day
I would've changed your ways
Yesterday your here, now you're gone
You said that no one cared about you, you were alone inside
You poor little girl
What'cha do, If only I had talked to you that day
I would've changed your ways
Yesterday your here, now you're gone
I always knew that you were in too deep
So why should I have to cry myself to sleep
If I had another chance to see you
I would say to you, You stupid little girl
I can only see you in pictures, its all I'll ever have
You'll always be my girl
What'cha do, If only I had talked to you that day
I would've changed your ways
Yesterday your here, now you're gone

A midnight express for five, the coffee will keep us alive.
We never leave a tip, cause we ain't got the change.
We need every dime to get Wayne rolaids.
So if you need somewhere to go, come in and see Joe.
He'll give you all the time to dine cause My Friends is open all the time.
My Friends is the best all the rest I can't digest.

Mascara
02:15

Friday night, I'm hanging out, just sitting around.
You were there indian-style on the chair.
With your tattered jeans and your bleached-blue hair, blackened eyes;
Looking the same as your friend standing on your side.
I want to get to know you, the real you.
That's inside, in those eyes.
What's inside, in those eyes.
Monday comes and you're just walking down the street.
I see you, you glance at me, yeah our eyes meet.
Your green, Doc boots, cigarettes and leather strides.
One day soon you'll come to realize.
That I want to get to know you, the real you.
That's inside, in those eyes.
The mystery lies inside those darkened eyes.
The real you will shine on through all your Mascara.
What's inside, in those eyes
What's inside, in those eyes
The mystery lies inside.
The mystery lies inside those darkened eyes.

Seems So Real
02:35

I've seen you here before, the way you look at me
There's something new in store, I really should've seen
You're not the same, this ain't no game to you
And for once it seems so
It seems that I'm complete now, It seems so real
And I just can't ignore the way I feel inside
As it grows more and more, I really feel alive
I can't complain, there ain't no pain with you
And for once it seems so
It seems that I'm complete now, It seems so real
Can this be the one?
I've seen you here before, the way you look at me
There's something new in store, I really should've seen
You're not the same, this ain't no game to you
And for once it seems so
It seems that I'm complete now, It seems so real

The Unknown Cleveland, Ohio
The Unknown is a band from Cleveland, Ohio that has been playing its blend of punked out pop rock 'n roll since 1989. Why should you buy their CDs? Because they rock and they rock out hard. Think what would happen if ALL, Big Drill Car and all that is cool about 80s pop were thrown into a blender and then whipped to a fine sugary fix. Sugary sweet pop-punk to the Nth degree. Check it out. ... more
