You're back again
You roam the streets
And crack again
You're back again

You're travel-worn
Standing here
In the town you were born
It's not your home

The mirror sees you
So alone
Cold as stone

You're not your own
You feel a chill
Go through your bones
You're not your own

There's something wrong
You call the doctor
On the phone
He's not at home

So you leave a message
After the tone
"I'm cold as stone"

Emerald green neon lights above
Sapphire red falls on you below
Cold as stone

Emerald green neon lights above
Sapphire red fall on you below

You're back again
You send a curse out
In the night
You're back all right

You're travel-worn
Standing here
In the town you were born
It's not your home

The mirror sees you
So alone
Cold as stone

Cold as stone

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
