lyrics

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.

about

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
