epitaph(Arnold Melleby, 02.12.2022)

you had it in you

but you let it pass

picking a fight

just to lose

to wind you down

into the abyss


the epitaph

carved into your soul

down in Londinium

dancin` boogie woogie

with the bones

dug up from the past

the epitaph

lives on


look what the cat dragged out

look at the ghost 

the blast cast in stone

mirrored on the wall of shadows

standing right behind you


you had it in you

but you let it pass

picking a fight

just to lose

to wind you down

into the abyss


you had it in you

but you let it pass

picking a fight

just to lose

to wind you down

into the abyss


soulslinger

intergalactic surfer

moondust snorter

you just claimed your own life


the epitaph

carved into your soul

down in Londinium

dancin` boogie woogie

with the bones

dug up from the past

the epitaph

lives on


the epitaph

carved into your soul

down in Londinium

dancin` boogie woogie

with the bones

dug up from the past

the epitaph

lives on

no one walks down to the Troubadour any more(Arnold Melleby, 02.07.2022.)

wouldn`t it be cool 

to never ever

see you again

success and the adverse effect 

had no effect on you

you sold my soul

way before I took your shot


take it easy

they all chanted to

but I never did

please give `em all my regards

Linda, Joni, Cass, Frank, Jim and Buffalo

and all the rest


life

like it used to be

ain`t here 

no more


no one 

walks down to the Troubadour 

any more


you had a front seat

saw the big birds

flying across the sky

now you can`t help

to do nothing

but cry


no one 

no, no one

walks down to the Troubadour 

any more


Laurel Canyon

don`t breed like it used to

the farm`s off limits and the talent

have long flown

Laurel Canyon

how`s the real estate

really doing?


no one 

no, no one

walks down to the Troubadour 

any more


no one 

no, no one

walks down to the Troubadour 

no more
