Puzzles

Hiding away in a city of a million people.
Hiding away hiding away.
Lost in the crowds amidst obscurity.
I wish I could help you find your way.
Maybe someday soon, I'll see you on the moon.
Maybe someday afar, I'll catch up to you on Mars.
Where are you? Why won't you tell me?
Where are you?
You asked me once when will I find the missing pieces to the jigsaw of my life.
I can only help you with the end pieces.
The rest is all up to you.
Maybe someday soon, the piece will come to you.
Maybe one day you'll find your true self.
Where are you? Why won't you tell me
Where are you?
Where there's a will there is a way.
And I know you'll always stay true to yourself.
Where there's a will there is a way
And I know you'll always stay true to yourself.
Maybe someday soon, I'll see you on the moon
Maybe someday afar, I'll catch up to you on Mars
Where are you?

Whether
03:00
|
|||
We used to go together, now you should go away
You're the reason the skies looked grey
And when the skies were sunny, you wanted to stay in
You never wanted to play outside.
We pulled and tugged each other like fighting six year olds
Fighting over a melting popsicle
And when the skies were rainy they washed it all away
Leaving nothing but puddles
Autumn's past colors start to fluctuate
First from green and then to red
And when the weather's stormy
I needed you to warm me
I can wait, can wait for a summer day.
Can wait for a summer, wait for a summer day.
Can wait for a summer, wait for a summer day.
Can wait for a summer, wait for a summer day.
Can wait for the summer.
Your friends they came between us, doomed us from the start
Causing nothing but trouble
And when the skies looked clearer and the sun shone on my face
A tiny breeze became a hurricane
We started it over and over like a car stuck in the snow
Finding out the energy was low
And when the skies were cloudy I tried to clear things up
Asking whether the skies were still grey.
Autumn's past colors start to fluctuate
First from green and then to red
And when the weather¹s stormy
I needed you to warm me
I can wait, can wait for a summer day.
Can wait for a summer, wait for a summer day.
Can wait for a summer, wait for a summer day.
Can wait for a summer, wait for a summer day.
Can wait for the summer.
For a day.

So Like Mine
02:32
|
|||
You always end up finishing the sentences that I start
You always fill in the blanks, you always finish with my part.
We've been together so long, you always finish my lines
We've been together so long, we do this all the time.
I look at the time and decide I should call you
You pick up the phone cause you decided to call too.
A day won't go by we don't think the same things
When we're together you slip under my skin
Your mind is so like mine
It scares me so, but I wanna be with you
I want you to be mine, you make happy, and I wanna be with you
And I wanna be with you.
I hate the thought of being without you a long time
You always tell me you're only happy to be mine
I find we both enjoy the same things
I make you so happy, you make me feel like a king
Your mind is so like mine
It scares me so, but I wanna be with you
I want you to be mine, you make happy, and I wanna be with you
And I wanna be with you.
You always end up finishing the sentences that I start
You always fill in the blanks, you always finish with my part.
Your mind is so like mine
It scares me so, but I wanna be with you
Your mind is so like mine
It scares me so, but I wanna be with you
I want you to be mine, you make happy, and I wanna be with you
And I wanna be with you.

Self Control
01:59
|
|||
Didn't wanna do it, just thinking to myself out loud
I didn't mean to say it, but I did and I know that it was wrong
You know that I love you
Seems like I never let you know
You know that I need you
But sometimes I lose my Self Control
Didn't wanna look, she was just someone passing by
I didn't mean to hurt, but I did and now I made you cry
You know you can trust me
Seems like I never let it show
You know I'm only human
So sometimes I lose my Self Control
I think that I can be strong
But sometimes I don't know
I always seem to lose my self control
You know that I love you
Seems like I never let you know
You know that I need you
But sometimes I lose my Self Control

Stare
02:39
|
|||
Don't you look at me
I don't have the time for you
Don't you look at me
You don't fit my daily schedule
Don't remind me that you're here I see you all around
I know you're here, I feel you soul though you don't make a sound
Don't you bother me
Because I am busy now
Don't you bother me
Can't you see I'm busy now?
I don't have the time to do the things you want me to do
I know you're here, I feel your soul I feel your eyes on me.
You always stare at me
When we are all alone
You always stare at me
When we're in the house together
I know you're glad I'm home
Don't you look at me
I don't have the time for you
Don't you look at me
You don't fit my daily schedule
You always stare at me
When we are all alone
You always stare at me
When we're in the house together
I know you're glad I'm home
Why don't you go to sleep
Now we're in the bed together
Please got to sleep
Put away that goddamn leather
I don't have the time to do the things you want me to do
I know you're here,I feel your soul I feel your eyes on me.
I know you're here, I feel your soul, I feel your body next to
Mine.

Biff The Cat
01:48
|
|||
I got a cat his name is Biff.
And we really hate each other.
And every day and every night, we always fight together.
Oh, whoa, oh Biff the cat.
Biff the cat with my numbchucks and a bat.
And when he's sleeping on my bed, I boff him in the head.
You ask me how he got his name, because I biffed him in the brain.
Oh, whoa, oh Biff the cat.
Biff the cat with my numbchucks and a bat.
Oh, whoa, oh Biff the cat.
Biff the cat with my numbchucks and a bat.
Biff the cat, Biff the cat, Biff the cat...

Different Eyes
03:20
|
|||
Stayed away from me, didn't even think of me.
I don't have the time to deal with you.
So don't you steal my time from me.
Your problem is, you just don't agree.
That things you tell yourself just aren't the same things that you tell to me.
If your friends only knew what you put me through.
They would look at you through different eyes.
If your friends only knew what I know about you.
They would look at you through different eyes.
We started off as friends, I don't think that will end.
But the secrets that you held from me would haunt me if I were not free.
From the start, you went and changed my part.
I should have known right then and there that life with you would only tear apart my heart.
If your friends only knew what you put me through.
They would look at you through different eyes.
If your friends only knew what I know about you.
They would look at you through different eyes.
Different eyes, eyes, eyes.
Look at you through different eyes.
We've known each other too long.
I feel its right to think wrong thoughts about you when I know we're through.
I said no at last, now you're in my past.
And my world looks so much brighter now.
I didn't need you anyhow.
If your friends only knew what you put me through.
They would look at you through different eyes.
If your friends only knew what I know about you.
They would look at you through different eyes.

Tilt Me
03:10
|
|||
Strolled in the diner today, there you were just staring at me
I couldn't believe my eyes
Asked the guy at the counter, how long you'd been there for me
But I didn't hear his reply
Its been a long time since I've heard your voice
You're driving me crazy, bouncing my head off the walls
I wish I could tilt you, don't you wanna tilt me too?
Tilt me too.
Never thought I see you, after that last time at Steve's
I left with anger in my eyes
Glanced at you and remembered, all the times we fought each other
I wanted to sink your ship again
Its been a long time since I've felt your sides
You're driving me crazy, bouncing my head off the walls
I wish I could tilt you, don't you wanna tilt me too?
Tilt me too.
You're the only one, the only one for me
You're the only one that I will ever let TILT me again
You're driving me crazy, bouncing my head off the walls
I wish I could tilt you, don't you wanna tilt me too?
Tilt me too.

Spin
02:18
|
|||
I woke up today to the same old song
I gotta get out of this groove
Stuck between, reality or dreams
Suspended in this boring scene.
What happened to all of our yesterdays?
When everything was cool
Bring it back (all the fun) spontaneity
Goin wherever our minds run
And now that my life, is spinning out of control...
Spinning around and around again
Here we go again
Spinning around and around again
Again and again
Spinning around and around again
Here we go again
Is there anything out there that can save me?
I've gotta get out of this groove
Set me free (can anyone save me) from obscurity
I'm locked in without a key
And now that my life, is spinning out of control...
Spinning around and around again
Here we go again
Spinning around and around again
Again and again
Spinning around and around again
Here we go again
Deja vus I can't ignore
Reruns and revolving doors
Hey Scotty won't you beam me aboard
Just when you think its over, here it comes again
Just when you think its over, here it comes again
Spinning around and around again
Here we go again
Spinning around and around again
Again and again
Spinning around and around again
Here we go again
I want the spinning to end.

No Chance At All
02:05
|
|||
There's no chance at all, no chance at all.
I first heard about him on the radio.
He scored perfectly in the tested roles.
He impressed them, and they scared him.
He didn't understand the big deal of it all.
There's nothing he can't be, he's a child prodigy.
They took him away, and they locked him in a room.
Behind closed doors they pondered his worldly worth.
He surprised them, criticized them.
He didn't understand the big deal of it all.
There's nothing that he can't do, except live a life like me and you.
There's nothin harder on him then to keep their dreams alive.
I know how he feels, to have to do it all.
And if he can't there's no place to hide.
And if he can't there's no chance to try.
There's no chance at all, no chance at all.

Still Unknown
03:18
|
|||
8 years in and five fans more, our records not for sale in stores.
Can't afford to go on tour, don't know what we'd bother for.
We started doin this for fun.
Our music's made for everyone.
We've got it down through ups and downs, we'll punch until the final round.
Remember when things seem amiss, it doesn't get much worse than this.
We started doin this for fun.
Like roulette with a loaded gun.
Now we've only just begun.
Still unknown
we've always been ignored
Still unknown
Our hats may someday find a home
Still unknown
We've made some friendz
But we're still On Our Own
We can't get booked in our home town because we don't have the right sound
We don't make much out on the road, we're waiting for that motherload
We started doin this for fun
Like roulette with a loaded gun
Now we've only just begun
Still unknown
we've always been ignored
Still unknown
Our hats may someday find a home
Still unknown
We've made some friendz
But we're still On Our Own
8 years in and five fans more, doesn't bother us anymore
Can't afford to go on tour, don't know what we'd bother for
We're Still Unknown!
We're Still Unknown!
We're Still Unknown!
We're Still Unknown!
And we'll always be On Our Own.

If You Want To
03:34
|
|||
When its time to make up your mind.
And if you choose to leave me behind.
You'll never see me smile.
Every time I see you walk by.
I think about the time we tried to be together.
If you want to, we can hang around.
And if you want to be my girl, we can rule the world.
When you decide to go back home.
And if you choose to be all alone.
I'll never see you smile.
And when its time to say goodbye,
That's OK because I tried to keep us together.
If you want to, we can hang around
And if you want to be my girl, we can rule the world.
When you go, you can never come back to me.
You'll face the world all alone on your own.
And if you want to, we can hang around.
And if you want to be my girl, we can rule the world

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
