The Real Thing

I saw your pictures of miss Monroe,
Jackie Kennedy, old soup cans and Grace Jones
And what they told me was that there was a time
When pop could mean a different thing to the world
I want the original
A classic every time, a taste I've come to know
I wonder what, what you would think of us now
We all grew up on the Beatle sound
And now I look around its no where to be found
I know that pop could be a different thing
I know that pop should be - the real thing
And it bums me out that this culture bleeds
With the fools and rules that make our scene so uncool
And the attitudes that alter everything
It's all we got to make a mark on the world
Make it original.
No formulaic themes by robotic beauty queens.
I wonder what, what you would think of us now.
We all grew up on the Beatle sound
And now I look around its no where to be found
I know that pop could be a different thing
I know that pop should be - the real thing
(The real thing) and it bums me out
(The real thing) and it burns me up
We all grew up on the Beatle sound
And now I look around its no where to be found
I know that pop should be - the real thing

Sometimes, I really think I need to disappear for a while
And sometimes I really think I need to hear that same old song once again.
I need to escape, I need to break these chains
I need to break the chains that bind me to everyday
Help me out, let me see
The way it's supposed to be
For now just let me disappear - disappear
For now just let me disappear
I promise I'll come back to here.
Sometimes, I really think I need to clear my head and bring back a smile
And sometimes I really think I need to peer into the past once again
I need to escape, I need to break these chains
I need to break the chains that bind me to everyday
Help me out, let me see
The way it's supposed to be
For now just let me disappear - disappear
I promise I'll come back to here.

I saw you glistening in the sun.
But I had to wait forever to finally meet you.
I let you take me for a ride.
I felt my heart skip a beat or two, and I felt so alive.
Hold your breath and close your eyes, hang on tight.
When we're together everything will be allright.
Pick me up and take me to the top.
Pick me up and never let me drop (never let me drop).
I wish this ride would never end.
But I know you've got someone else waiting for you.
We've had our twists and turns its true.
I feel my head go soaring through the skies
Whenever I ride with you.
Hold your breath and close your eyes, hang on tight.
When we're together everything will be allright.
Pick me up and take me to the top.
Pick me up and never let me drop (never let me drop).
We can go as fast as you want to.
(Let me know if you want to slow down).
We can go as fast as you want to.
(Let me know if you want to slow down).
If you can, if you can.
Pick me up and take me to the top.
Pick me up and never let me drop (never let me drop).
Never let me drop.

If you were real, I'd meet you down in the cargo bay.
If you were real, we'd go on a holideck holiday.
You want perfection, and you won't settle for less.
You find I'm inferior, but I will do my best.
We can go to astrometrics and gaze out at the Unknown stars.
You can chart a path to your heart.
Then we'll know just where we are.
All that I want is for you to be for real.
All that I want is for you to energize for me.
All I want is for you to be for real.
That's all I want.
You're all i want.
If you were real, I'd save you, in the next episode.
And I know, you have implants, but i wont make you overload.
You want perfection and you won't settle for less.
You find I'm inferior, but I will do my best.
We can go to astrometrics and gaze out at the Unknown stars.
You can chart a path to your heart.
Then we'll know just where we are.
All that I want is for you to be for real.
All that I want is for you to energize for me.
All I want is for you to be for real.
That's all I want.

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
