looks like I´ve found myself a dead horse(Arnold Melleby, 04.31.2016)

invite me in some day
and I´ll hobnob with your friends
I´ll pretend to be your best friend
and treat you like the queen you are
or at least the one you want to be

and when the night comes to an end
I´ll tuck you in
like you´ve never been tucked in before
kiss you on your cheeks and forehead
before I´ll be on my way

meanwhile
we´re just wasting time
a love like this could leave a man blind
a love like this is better off not found
yet, I find myself in the middle
of something that isn´t anything at all
we´re just wasting time
baby
we´re just wasting time

looks like I´ve found myself a dead horse
looks like I´ve found myself a dead horse
can´t ride it, can´t fight it
looks like I´ve found myself a dead horse
honey
we´re just wasting time

before you come clean
you gotta get dirty
to collect feathers in your hat
you need to get close to a bird or two
before the eagle can fly
it needs to say goodbye
although it may stumble and fall
at least it knows where to go
it knows where to fly
to get high
just like I did
when I came lookin` for you

invite me in some day

I´ll pretend to be your best friend

the truth lives on(Arnold Melleby, 04.26.2016)

holy shit
who do you expect me to be
are you mine
I don´t know
and in a funny and twisted way
I don´t care
I really don´t care

my basis of knowledge
came from far away
far away from where you ever made your mark
get real and deal with the real deal
there´s no stopping the truth
as long as you lie
you can´t die
in a forevermore setting
don´t you know
I do know

flowers smell
and so do we all
all we know
is we never know
when we´ll take the fall
misunderstanding this
could destroy us all

the truth lives on
the truth lives on
the truth lives on

as I saw you on the screen
you scared the shit out of me
thought you were a star
until one day I met you on the street
high as a kite
vulnerable as they become
the candle had blown out

the truth lives on
the truth lives on
the truth lives on

although you´re blind
some of us still live on
we´ve all seen right
why shouldn´t we see wrong
just to win the fight
to be one of a kind

the truth lives on

blush(Arnold Melleby, 04.25.2016)

there´s a sign
and I´m there to follow
there´s a cast
and a story too hollow
who plays a part
and who plays not
is hard to tell
all I wanna know is
are you comin` or goin`

a broken curse
but it still gets worse
this is not
who you wanna become
this is not who you are

but it´s all I know
and it´s all you told me
by far
can´t you tell
this is the difference
between my heaven
and your hell

a broken curse
but it still gets worse
this is not
who you wanna become
this is not who you are

the story never ends
nothing ever mends
this is who we´ve become
this is who we are
wishing we were hot
right on the spot
to be or what not

a broken curse
but it still gets worse
this is not
who you wanna become
this is not who you are

a broken curse
but it still gets worse
this is not
who you wanna become
this is not who you are

blush
and I´ll give you a sign
blush

smithereens (Arnold Melleby, 04.25.2016)

I gather a few grains of sense out of it all
and manage to stand tall
in the midst of it all
the stoned motherfucker you are
I can hear the cry of your angels
the doorbell´s ringing
but no one´s at the door

walk a few miles in my boots
and I´ll kick your bitchy little ass
no matter what
my boots can´t be filled
can´t be walked or worn
by anyone else
but me

just remember, girl
when it comes to greed
I´ll be there
until then
I´ll be all smithereens

maybe one grand ol` day
I´ll answer your prayers
and let you win
just once
`cause, I know how it feels
I know what it does to you
another gram won´t do no harm

I´ll bail you out
and I´ve tried
to trail the legions that led you
into the hole you´re in
diggin´ you out
has become a way
to spend my spare time

just remember, girl
when it comes to greed
I´ll be there
until then
I´ll be all smithereens

just remember, girl
when it comes to greed
I´ll be there
until then
I´ll be all smithereens

masses(Arnold Melleby, 04.25.2016)

I know you tried to reach me
but you missed me by a mile
I feel a sense of sensation
just knowing you´re around
looking for me

the trains don´t stop
as often as they used to
around here no more
although the number of people
wanting to get outta here

are on the rise

hello, little macho man
with the shades on in the dark
what´s the story with you
got some time to spare
got a dime to share
what do you really care
you´re already there
off the station
and in someone else`s care

in a city of congestion
getting fuller by the minute
what you´ve got
everyone else wants
the masses are on the move

they do not to what
but they keep on moving
in a world in a lack of balance
and without sustainable human growth
the masses are on the move

they are on the rise

hello, little macho man
with the shades on in the dark
what´s the story with you
got some time to spare
got a dime to share
what do you really care
you´re already there
off the station
and in someone else`s care

hello, little macho man
with the shades on in the dark
what´s the story with you
got some time to spare
got a dime to share
what do you really care
you´re already there
off the station
and in someone else`s care

maybe it´s time
to gett outta the office
and mend the holes in the fence
and kiss some ass on the other side
the coyotes will keep haulin`
no matter what
give´m what they need
and they won´t take what they want

what time is love(Arnold Melleby, 04.24.2016)

along the shores of eternity
we will once again, meet
along the trust of the cross
there will be no more tears

one morning you´ll wake up
and the echoes in your head
will play an epic song
you´ve heard so many times before

what time is love
sing my angels above
what time is love
a epic song that grabs your spine
what time is love

the water`s finding its way
in a slow and elegant manner, downstream
towards the awaiting sea
kissed by a riptide before the storm

worlds collide at the blink of an eye
embraced by a see-through alibi
there´s nothing else to do
than to go for the ultimate kind

what time is love
sing my angels above
what time is love
sing for the ages
an epic song
that grabs your spine
what time is love

what time is love
sing my angels above
what time is love
sing for the ages
an epic song
that grabs your spine
what time is love

what time is love
what time is love
what time is love

what time is love

let it flow(Arnold Melleby, 04.15.2016)

we all want an island in the sun
lit by moonlight at night
surrounded by an ocean of love
where there are no endings
only the sweetest beginnings

let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together
let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together

each time we meet and greet each other
hand in hand along the beach of forever
with nothing but calm waters in the surf
where we´ll both shine brighter
brighter than the stars above

let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together
let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together

over and over and over again
there´s no telling tomorrow from yesterday
only the moment of today
and the sense of love
of a love, never going away

let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together
let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together

let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together
let it flow
let it all go
let´s fly away
together

let it flow
let´s never lose the glow

boundaryless(Arnold Melleby, 04.15.2016)

the night is young
and even younger
the stars are looking down on me
tonight

as I disappear into my own little world
a world that´s never far away
I don´t even have to close my eyes
dreaming in a waken state of consciousness
in a state where loneliness is non existent
where a hand´s always reaching out for me
where goodbye is just another way of saying
until we meet again

exploring a boundaryless mind
seeing beyond any horizon
of any man
seeing beyond any horizon
of any mind
the boundaryless mind of mine
is on the prowl

brighter than the stars above
they know who we are

son of a bitch(Arnold Melleby, 04.13.2016)

cherish this moment
`cause, it´s the closest you´ll ever get
to me
cherish these times
´cause, we´ll never get closer
to each other

a rhino on a field
what has that got to do with anything
I don´t know
I just wanna go home
I´ll do my trip to the African highlands
some other day, in some other life

knock, knock
if I ever open
be prepared
`cause, you´ll meet yourself
in the door

I´m a son of a bitch
my father was a preacher
and this is the way I remember
love
I´m a son of a bitch
my father was a preacher
and this is the way I remember
love

squeeze me and hold me like there is no tomorrow
`cause, tomorrow may already be yesterday
before you know the word of it
I´ll be gone
before you know the word of it
we´ll be gone

I´m a son of a bitch
my father was a preacher
and this is the way I remember
love
I´m a son of a bitch
my father was a preacher
and this is the way I remember
love

I´m a son of a bitch
my father was a preacher
and this is the way I remember

I´m a son of a bitch
my father was a preacher
and this is the way I remember
love

welcome to my highway(Arnold Melleby, 04.12.2016)

I pour a little more hot water
into my already full tub
to even the score
to let the game begin
tired of watching evil win

once again
I feel lonely
once again
I watch your back
as you leave

the rhythm will take you there
just make sure to act like you care
the dawn will drape your victorious fights
endless beauty of your desire
taking it to brand new highs

welcome to my highway
welcome to my world
leave everything else behind
and let´s start all over again
welcome to my highway
welcome to my world
hey girl, let´s get real high

I pour a little more hot water
into my already full tub
to even the score

tired of watching evil win

once again
I feel lonely

I watch your back
as you leave

the rhythm will take you there
just make sure to act like you care
the dawn will drape your victorious fights
endless beauty of your desire
taking it to brand new highs

welcome to my highway
welcome to my world
leave everything else behind
and let´s start all over again
welcome to my highway
welcome to my world
hey girl, let´s get real high

I know you want to
I know you need to
I know a fantasy when I see one
I know you want to
I know you need to

welcome to my highway
welcome to my world
leave everything else behind
and let´s start all over again
welcome to my highway
welcome to my world
hey girl, let´s get real high

killin´ time before the sun(Arnold Melleby, 04.11.2016)

tears are forbidden
I hope that´s fine with you
whenever I find myself next to you
I feel like a giant goosebump-machine
your beauty is my friend
although it tops anything I can defend
a scream in the night
broken glass on the floor
leaves a mess that needs to be cleaned up
while the noise it made breaking
clears the tension in the air
in some weird but true way

it´s time to get up
it´s time to stay up
bring love into the deep
and take the deepest breath
the one impossible to follow
with the one you wanna keep

I´m staring at the moon
killin´ time before the sun
as much as I hate repeating myself
it´s all that the hours of a day does
killin´ time before the sun
I´ll always be a child of tomorrow
lived too long to feel sorrow
I´m staring at the moon
killin´ time before the sun

deep down the endless canyon of guilt
ancient chanting can be heard
whispering in the forever draft
carried by the wind
buried by the rain
silenced and carried away
until the day it comes out screaming
in the other end
blasting anything standing in its way
giving the word smithereens
a brand new meaning
hear me now, believe me later

it´s time to get up
it´s time to stay up
bring love into the deep
and take the deepest breath
the one impossible to follow
with the one you wanna keep

I´m staring at the moon
killin´ time before the sun
as much as I hate repeating myself
it´s all that the hours of a day does
killin´ time before the sun
I´ll always be a child of tomorrow
lived too long to feel sorrow
I´m staring at the moon
killin´ time before the sun

to whom it may concern(Arnold Melleby, 04.10.2016)

livin` a second hand life
is what I do
a casualty of love
is what I am
I don´t know where else to go
I don´t know where else to hide
burnin´ down
down to the ground
trust me
it´ll never be the same

I found God
but he never found me
I need a safe haven
just like you
you ask me if I´m sick
if i stay any longer
I sure as hell will be
losing your will to die
is a good thing
after all, life´s just a collateral for death

fuel the hatred
it´s been ten long years
the next ten
ain´t gonna be any shorter
show me the love
show me the money
stash your cash
until you see the sun no more
your royal madness
chase the dough `til there´s nothin` left to chase

soft spoken
a mouthful of bloody teeth all over the floor
then a stare
showing you the door
knowing right from wrong is never wrong
spread your holy water
all over my yard
watch my seeds grow into eternity
you say don´t believe me
of course, you do

where is your wisdom
where is your fury
give me the flesh
give me the bones
give me the blood
give me the soul
we both know
it´s time to move on
I´m in no mood for Edison`s medicine
any time soon

I´ll never write the book of love
anywhore

you, I and love(Arnold Melleby, 04.07.2016)

what time is now
how soon is never
sleep little one
dream of love
dream of me

let your senses flow
wherever they´d like to go
get up on the heights
above the city
you call your home

let the hordes draw the line
I promise you
they´ll do just fine
go ahead now
open another bottle of wine

if you ever thought it was gonna be easy
if you ever thought this was a losing game
it could´ve just been the same
love will always bleed for you
as long as your heart´s got a beat to spare

love can be silent
love can make you dream
love can make you scream

if you got what it takes
take it
if you don´t
fake it
if you´ve got nothing at all
use that as well

love comes
love goes
love moves on

if you ever thought it was gonna be easy
if you ever thought this was a losing game

love can make you scream
