Phoenix
   
    _
Martina:
All move so fast here,
No one can last here,
Lucky for us dear,
Round and round we go.

Darling, the turn is resistance
Do you, I do
Forgettin’ to follow your instinct
Do you, I do

I will stay for this last transformation,
From where we start it soon gets precarious
I will stay for this last transformation,
Beauty and tragedy released in the end.

Here now we’re kneeling,
Now we’re revealing,
Purge every feeling ,
As we turn to dust.

Don’t get yourself in mischief,
Do you, you don’t, do you,
Together whatever the distance,
To you, I'll come to you.

I will stay for this last transformation,
Flares in arcs will lead us out to sea,
Far above you the stars light the heavens,
Beauty and tragedy released in the end.

Out in the distance,
Blue god encrypted,
Phoenix persistant,
Round and round we go.

Carnies
   
    _
Martina:
Ferris Wheels and Cotton Candy
Folks try to stall as the kids get antsy
They sit there complaining there’s nothing else to do
So we pick up our coats and go down to the fair
Who knows what we’ll find when we get there?
Eyes will be streaming, faces split in two

Carnies have come to town
If they stay will you hang around?
Lately where have you gone?
I’ve been waiting for so long
When will you come back?

Say what you want life’s too good to be true
Jump-start me after I’m thru the sun-roof
Soon I’ll be home but I don’t know if you will too

April Grove
[lyrics by James Barbour, originally a song by Chrysalis]
   
    _
Martina:
Watching the silent wings of
Robber Fly
I contemplate his victims
As they die

No one sheds a tear
No one interferes
Life will come and go this year
In April Grove

Under the moldy leaves some
Springtails stay
They hardly ever see the
Light of day

Till you scratch away
At their roof of clay
Then they always jump away
In April Grove

April Grove
I'm an alien
In clothing in your realm
I’m alone
I’m invading
But you're holding me near
And I’m overwhelmed getting stoned

Watching meanderings of swallowtails
Following thistle blossom
Pollen trails
Sipping flower juice
In the sun profuse
Between shadows seeping through
To April Grove

April Grove
I'm an alien
In clothing in your realm
I’m alone
I’m invading
But you're holding me near
And I’m overwhelmed getting stoned

Watching meanderings of swallowtails
Following thistle blossom
Pollen trails
No one interferes
No one ever hears
Life will come and go this year
In April Grove

Baby Blue
   
    _
Martina:
I don't think you should wait not a minute more;
She's a girl that you've been waiting for.
Funny how the noises that I'm making,
Can't drown the sound of my heart breaking.

Baby Blue, I don't know what to do when you call to me.
Baby Blue, I never really knew I belonged to you.

Just one brief glance was all that I needed to,
Believe that you might feel what I feel for you.
In the night I wake up after breathing,
No [???], you're calling to me am I dreaming?

Baby Blue, I don't know what to do when you call to me.
Baby Blue, I never really knew I belonged to you.

No ageless trance will rush up to meet me and feign,
The love will remain.

Baby Blue, I don't know what to do when you call to me.
Baby Blue, I never really knew I belonged to you.

For there's a [???] if only I find a blue,
In the night, into his room.
Brush his lips, wait 'till the morning,
In his eyes a new love dawning.

Baby Blue, I don't know what to do when you call to me.
Baby Blue, I never really knew I belonged to you.

Shangri La
   
    _
Martina:
See me, I see you too
There’s no strings to what we do
It’s a wireless phase and the camera stays
I bend into place, a Maria full of Grace

And I wonder if you could do
All I do for you

And it’s so original and it’s so beautiful
I can see me in the way you are
Knowing everywhere I go you’re my picture on the wall
I see me in the way I am
When I reach town, baby I’m a touchdown
I see us in the way we are
And I’m running for a train and I’m coming home again
And then maybe I can slowdown

Walk in a circle
Trying to find our way home

It’s cruel to detain me
Unbuckle and deplane me
A wireless phase and the camera says
I bend into place a Maria full of Grace

Do you know what I do for you
Know what I do, do you

And it’s so beautiful and it’s so original
I can see me in the way you are
Knowing everywhere I go you’re my picture on the wall
I see me in the way I am
When I reach town, baby I’m a touchdown
I see us in the way we are
And I’m running for a train and I’m coming home again
And then maybe I can slow down

Walk in a circle
Finding our way home
Run in a circle
Finding our way home…

Valentine
   
    _
Martina:
It's oh so late to start wishing
This heart of mine, you're gonna own
They fade away and now you're here
I didn't know
It's only you....

Valentine....
Go out in the light

Why suffer back in the game
All living, all our sin the same
All the faithful heal, they're all praying
They refer to

Valentine....
Oh, return

They release you then you turn to see
Make it feel alright
The only thing is that I didn't
I tried to climb but fell on home
I feel around and still your here
Your coming home But before you do...

Valentine
Go out in the light

Out in the moonlit sky
I saw you….

Poison
   
    _
Martina:
Just the memory of you
It feels like poison
Still the memory of you
It feels like poison
It kills like poison

Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
I can only love you
It feels like poison

If not for you
No love in front of me
Nobody told you
It's not how it's supposed to be

Make a wish and blow it out
Love will begin again
I don't want to be a clown
The whole town is laughing
Behind my back, you're supposed to be a friend

If not for you
No love in front of me
Nobody told you
It's not how it's supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be

It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison

Razor Tongue
   
    _
Martina:
Hello, come in
Surprise you win
After hanging your town
It's all that I've gone
You're living in a dream

Too late when you say
I've changed, you've changed
It's too late when we lay
I've changed, oh no

Where were you baby
Where were you baby
Let's hear what you do, you
Late news for you, you
All I can say
Is all the shit fades
You should leave me

Feel so razor tongued
You raise the gun
Take a seat
Slowly grinned
"How are you?"

Too late when you say
We've changed, I've changed
If only you listened
I've changed, oh no

Where were you baby
Where were you baby
Let's hear what you do, you
Late news for you, you
All I can say
Is all the shit fades
You should leave me

Yesterday
   
    _
Martina:
Could you imagine
Lying with me
Etched / edged in skin
I won’t let you go

Could you sit up there
Hiding with me
Yesterday
I won’t let you go
Yesterday
I don’t have to know (?)

Uuuuh, uuuuh….
???

Hmmmm

I’m safe again
When will …?
Yesterday 
I won’t let you go

Not used to nothing
My soul lives (?)
Yesterday
I won’t let you go

Uuuuh, uuuuh…

Yesterday
I won’t let you go

Hmmmm….

Yesterday
I won’t let you go
