voodoo love(Arnold Melleby, 04.30.2018)

what I show you
I show no other
my faithful wounds
still bleed for me

a booby trapped path
all the way to your front door
let`s fall in love
all over again
let`s go all the way

what`s for me to know
and for you to find out
is what it`s all about
so, stop asking for advice
that can`t be given

no one is ever
gong to spell your name
for you
and if they ever do
it`ll be against you

a kiss is not a kiss
unless there are lips
in the receiving end
just like a diamond is no diamond
unless it`s given to a woman

voodoo love
voodoo love
voodoo love
made me see you
through the sea
I walked through
on the bottom
all the way
hitting the beach
on a lonely sunday
scaring all the beachgoers away
this is how
voodoo love
came my way

I am still beautiful
no matter how you look
an emerald soul
with a plastic soul
don`t ring no bells in my valley

easy diamonds
easy tears
my soul sticks deeper
and I`ll stick around
through the years
no one cares
about the forgotten tears
anyway

even if I was the last one alive
my mayday heart
will never stop
beating for you
until then

Mr. Griswald
your table of one
is now ready

everything(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

I can tell you everything
as long as I don`t have to speak to you

Polly(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

this Polly never got no cracker
she ate the chihuahua instead

idol(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

show me your idol
and I`ll tell you who you`re not

mom(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

my mom just died
I`m crying

the hipster(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

he smokes a tad of weed
before he balances out
with a line of coke
wired like Packard Bell
he hits the town

this hipster
burned his lips on coffee
long before it became hot
what happened to rock and roll

legs(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

what do you tell your girlfriend
when she comes home
after having both of her legs
amputated?
-don`t worry, honey,
they were just in the way,
anyway
-care for sex?

pork(Arnold Melleby, 04.27.2018)

I like to pork
and I like to eat it too

triumphant departure(Arnold Melleby, 04.13.2018)

a hollow soul
afraid of growing old
united with a past
we all knew wouldn`t last

but
don`t worry if you spilled it
the drink`s on me
you got me stoned
and I got you high
then there were shadows
this is how I discribe them

can I sit by your side
`cause, I`ve got nowhere else to hide
looking at you
the only thing that comes to my mind
is my triumphant departure
you must have been
one of natures biggest blunders
my triumhant departure
is my rebel yell

immaculately stoned
but still hiding your head
deep beaneath the ground
but, of course, anything can happen
on a narly tuesday
I`m still waiting
for that particular ray to strike
and when a no turns into a yes
you`ll need to confess
this love has travelled
down a gravel road
to find the code
to find you

I still fade away
I still fade away
I still fade away

listen to the voice
of the one that cut off the heads
and yes, the balled one too
yooh-hooh-hooh-hooh
yooh-hooh-hooh-hooh
yooh-hooh-hooh-hooh
you`been left behind
I`ve sent an evil kiss of death
giving my wings air to fly
right into the arms of yours

I still fade away
I still fade away
I still fade away

can I sit by your side
`cause, I`ve got nowhere else to hide
looking at you
the only thing that comes to my mind
is my triumphant departure
you must have been
one of natures biggest blunders
my triumhant departure
is my rebel yell

I`ll still remember the day
when st. peter called his name
and he declined to reply

I still fade away
I still fade away
I still fade away

I still have step in heaven
and an arm around you

high enough(Arnold Melleby, 04.07.2018)

I woke up from a nap
and fell asleep to reality
I could see like an eagle
and swim like a dolphin
everything was a game

I played the lotto
got my ticket
and won the universe
you all belong to me now
history starts just about now

I got way too stoned
and woke up as Mount Everest
in need of no rest
trying to get arrested
by someone that bares the likes of you

bare no secrets
because you can`t
question is
did I get high enough

I woke up from a nap
and fell asleep to reality
I could see like an eagle
and swim like a dolphin
everything was a game

bare no secrets
because you can`t
question is
did I get high enough

did I get high enough
did I get high enough
did I get high enough

tell me
did I get high enough

(OMG, what happened to the ground!)

shadowfax(Arnold Melleby, 04.06.2018)

I was gettin` outta the sun
and into the shade
when you rang the right bell
lost for words and out of tears

a tattoed soul
afraid of growing old
afraid of growing up

shadowfax
the lord of all horses
a troubled earth
gave birth to you
while screaming out your name

the whistle blew
a flash in the night
afraid to let it die
the hart stopped beating many a time
nursed back to life each and every time

the ride is free and endless
checking out the wildlife
along Tamiami Trail
before hitting the ocean
to go swimming
with a school of hammerheads

shadowfax
the lord of all horses
a troubled earth
gave birth to you
while screaming out your name


shadowfax
the lord of all horses
you gotta let it go
a white shadow
passing all and everyone
a perfect match with the only one
who can handle her reins 

targetable
destructible
irresistable
to the bullet
basking in the glory
of a direct hit

in the midst of evil
I walk up to the mountain
why, you may ask
because it talks to me
I may answer

shadowfax
the lord of all horses
a troubled earth
gave birth to you
while screaming out your name

shadowfax
the lord of all horses
shadowfax
shadowfax
shadowfax
shadowfax

shadowfax
