wings(Arnold Melleby, 06.30.2016)

lay it all out
then lay low
to see what happens
to see what you can change
the next time you`re around

give your heart a break
do not take what you do not need
harmony is not a bad thing
or take a lot of drugs
if you prefer to die young

take a pill to calm your nerves
nerves you would never have
if you did not take that pill
common sense makes no sense
common sense is not common any more

some of us should never die
some of us got wings
some of us do not
but it´s always the ones who don´t
that do
die

that´s when I noticed you
in a crowd I could not be a part of
I connected with you
in a place that scared me
I found what I needed to keep the calm

do you understand
do I make myself clear
it´s like you were never there
like you do not care
a tsunami awaits your shore

you can burn
but you don`t have to
burn everything in your way
down to the ground
leave us a trace to follow

lift the curse
and you´ll gain
happiness yourself
we do not
have a future ahead

I have lived
and I have learned
I have no beginning
I have no end
and that´s the message I´d like to send

a silver spoon
taste no good
if it´s in the mouth
of a misbeliever
ever again

certain elements
 are carved in stone
rock stars are not

let´s meet in Tucson(Arnold Melleby, 06.30.2016)

heaven comes easily
for those who wait
all hell brakes loose
for those who hate
time flies
and so do you
long goodbyes
and dirty lies
is what awaits you
time and time again
let it rain
to hide the sun

let´s meet in Tucson
I´m never too far
I´m never too far
I´m never too far away
from you

they´ll use you
and abuse you
if you don´t strike back
a one way track
awaits you
if you don´t fight back
to get it right
to get the record straight
once and for all
stand tall
and block the view
for the short ones

let´s meet in Tucson
I´m never too far
I´m never too far
I´m never too far away
from you

let´s meet in Tucson
let´s meet in Tucson
let´s meet in Tucson
I´m never too far
I´m never too far
I´m never too far away
from you

let´s meet in Tucson
let´s meet in Tucson
let´s meet in Tucson
I´m never too far
I´m never too far
I´m never too far away
from you

heaven comes easily
for those who wait
let´s meet in Tucson

heaven sent(Arnold Melleby, 06.30.2016)

it´s gettin´ dark
I know about the shadows
hiding in your closet all day
waitin` to get out
sunshine go away

wild is the wind
that blew me away
about you
wild is the wind
still blowin` in your hair

clearly one of a kind
four wheelin` on common ground
the pace is set
goin` on and on and on
are you ready for me yet

tell me where you went
how does it feel
to be heaven sent
when everyone else
just seem to take up space

tell me where you went
how does it feel
to be heaven sent
when everyone else
just seem to take up space

stumbled on some numbers today
played them and won it all
if it´s in the bag
get it out to get lucky
and remember to drink the wine

look for the evergreens
and not a heart in smithereens
the grass is just grass
on the other side
as well

tell me where you went
how does it feel
to be heaven sent
when everyone else
just seem to take up space

tell me where you went
how does it feel
to be heaven sent
when everyone else
just seem to take up space

it´s gettin´ dark
I know about the shadows
hiding in your closet all day
waitin` to get out
sunshine go away

wild is the wind
that blew me away
about you
wild is the wind
still blowin` in your hair

clearly one of a kind
four wheelin` on common ground
the pace is set
goin` on and on and on
are you ready for me yet

tell me where you went
how does it feel
to be heaven sent
when everyone else
just seem to take up space

tell me where you went
how does it feel
to be heaven sent
when everyone else
just seem to take up space

a blessing turned curse(Arnold Melleby, 06.12.2016)

a blessing turned curse
is what I find
a blessing turned curse
is what I see
when I see you

by the way
I thought you´d never ask
what´s here for us
is here to serve
and here to protect

listen up while you still have ears
the billionaires are saving
every dollar they´ve got
while you´re spending every dollar
you have not

what a way
to spend a vacation
you say
I say
I´ll spend mine
down the street from you

a blessing turned curse
is what I find
a blessing turned curse
is what I see
when I see you

where does the world
go from here
where do my words
go from here
I wanna know

a blessing turned curse
is what I find
a blessing turned curse
is what I see
when I see you

when love came around(Arnold Melleby, 06.07.2016)

don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
follow my advice
and rule the sky

just because
you wear a tux
can´t always hide
a rats nest inside

a suit can`t make love
the chunk of meat inside
is what gets to you
if you let it get you

the world´s round
and just like our brains
we can´t see
the other side

don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
follow my advice
and rule the sky

when love came around
I was nowhere to be found
two hearts pounding
in different directions
when love came around
I was nowhere to be found
California, here I come
California, here I come
California, here I come

don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
don´t be a lazy ass motherfucker
follow my advice
and rule the sky

when love came around
I was nowhere to be found
two hearts pounding
in different directions
when love came around
I was nowhere to be found
California, here I come
California, here I come
California, here I come

the return of a ghost(Melleby/Turner, 06.02.2016)

I lit up the sunrise 
and let it fall
chances are
and they´re not
we all know
you gotta know the kind
to be the kind
you want the rest to like
and odore
hey, there`s a mirror
lookin` at me
take it for what it´s worth
just make sure 
to see the value from vithin
it makes it so much easier
to see it in the right light
from where the sun shines on you
I doused the sunset
and let it rise

let it rise
let it rise
let it rise

rise
for and cover
you

a sunset
doused
