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
