Worth A Try
Words and Music by Doug Martines
What’s it cost to find what’s lost
Make it better right down to the letter, my friend
What’s the deal you’re so surreal
How do you feel gotta keep it real, my friend
Are there tears that, you want to cry
Take my hand, don’t be shy
Open your heart, it’s worth a try
There’s something so deep inside
What’s on your face you can’t hide, my friend
Is there something that you want to say
A prayer that you may want to pray, my friend
So get on your knees and look up to the sky
Spread your wings and let them fly
You have nothing to lose, it’s worth a try
Come see, come see, the light….It’s worth a try.
To be cynical to be wise
What’s it take to open your eyes, my friend
I read you like an open book
You never take a second look, my friend
Are there tears that you want to cry
Take my hand, don’t be shy
Open your heart, It’s worth a try

Where The Road Ends
Words by Rachael Martines
Music by Doug Martines
(chorus)
I feel like I’m on vacation
In my own town
And I’m smiling, out loud
While the sun shines down
Because I never thought
I’d make it here
Where the road ends…
There was a time when, I felt ashamed
Of all the choices I ever made
There was nothing I wouldn’t do
To simply disappear
Get lost in the arms of a girl
Far away from here
But now I feel no need to run
No more regrets my time has come
(chorus)
I was working myself to the bone
A cog in the machine, I was gone
The hustle got the best of me
But now it’s gotten old
The space between where ends meet
Is only ever cold
Now I labor for a love
That loves me back when we rise above
Life’s a different ballgame
When you quit keeping score
You learned the rules just to break them
And ask what it’s all for
What’s done is done you already won
Go take your victory lap
Go have some fun
I feel like I’m on vacation
In my own town
And I’m smiling, out loud
While the sun shines down
Because I never thought
I’d make it here
Where the road ends…
I feel like I’m on vacation
In my own town
And I thought I’d never make it here
Where the road ends…and the journey begins

Dive Bar Delusion
Words by Rachael Martines
Music by Doug Martines
When you live the the kind of day
You’d like to be remembered by
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just die
With that version of you at the front of their minds
Sparing you the hell of losing your pride
They say all roads
Lead to Rome
Yet we find ourselves here
No matter who we become
When the barkeep violates the sacred code
And your secrets are out there
For all the world to know
WIll you be proud of who you’ve been
Does any of it matter in the end?
The man in the corner gets his beauty sleep
And a couple washed up lovers try their hand at a date
The old rugby boys order another round
Its evil how easy that sweet house liquor goes down
Graffiti gospel in the bathroom says you only live once
And you’re starting to feel like once is more than enough
But the kids in the back rack up the balls again
So we let each other in and
Make cheers the new amen
They say all roads
Lead to Rome
But yet we find ourselves here
No matter who we become
Dive bar delusion
No matter, who we become
Dive bar delusion

Don’t Hide Away
Words and Music by Doug Martines
Tell me what’s on your mind
If I look what will I find
You’ve been so mysterious
It’s made me so curious
Chorus
Gotta look, gotta look deep inside
Come on out, come on out and play
Don’t hide away, hide away from the world
It’s gonna be, gonna be a great day
Why don’t you let me in
Don’t treat me like an antigen
I’m and egg on your wall
Hold me close so I don’t fall
Chorus
It’s all up to you, Don’t hide yourself away
There’s plenty to do, Don’t hide yourself away
We can dance in the sun, Don’t hide yourself away
Your time has begun, Don’t hide yourself away
We were once so very close
Could it be we overdosed
Wish I could turn back time
I’m running out of words that rhyme
Chorus

Tolerating Moderation
Words by Rachael Martines
Music By Doug Martines
Filled with fury and feeling gritty
They let us die without an ounce of pity
Did my part and fanned the flames
Watched it burn but nothing’s changed
Can’t unsee what I have seen
“Back to normal,” what do you mean?
Can’t pretend that it’s alright
Bypass the trauma and catch the next flight
(chorus)
You’ve been tolerating moderation
Sitting on your hands for way too long
Put an end to all the indecision
Embrace the change we have undergone
You gotta join up with the battle cry
March in the streets until you die
Gather the troops, large and small
Keep up the pressure and watch them fall
Hear the call
Red and blue are both to blame
The moneybags have rigged the game
Stagnant wages and rising prices
Children left to their own devices
Buildings crumble without a reason
Killer heat marks the summer season
They’ll make you think you’re going insane
And promise to fix it the next campaign
(chorus)
Don’t need a savior
We need each other
Hope despite hope
For a better future
(chorus)

TIME TRAVELERS
Words by Rachael Martines and Doug Martines,
Music by Doug Martines
I heard them shouting, and making a fuss.
So I bought a ticket, and got on a bus
Forward, backward which way to go
When I figure it out, I’ll let you know.
Is it real, or just a show
(chorus)
We were outlaws on the run
Baking in the midday sun
Like forest trees, set on fire
Burning bright with desire
Just when I thought
We’ve seen it all
September leaves began to fall
You found me once
On the other side
Let’s go back in time
Where we can hide
Define a memory, was it true
Or something conjured out of the blue
When did it happen or is it still to come.
This magical mystery tour that’s left undone
It’s just begun
(chorus)
While they aim,
To live in space
Longer than the human race
Has ever lived before
We flee the scene
Reality’s a dream
For stars like you and me
We’re the magical mystery….
(chorus)

Season Of The Witch
By Donovan
When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That is strange, so strange
You’ve got to pick up every stitch
You've got to pick up every stitch
You've got to pick up every stitch
Mmm,
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
When I look over my shoulder
What do you think I see
Some other cat looking over
His shoulder at me
And he’s strange
Sure he’s strange
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch, yeah
Beatniks out to make it rich
Oh no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
(gtr solo)
You got to pick up every stitch
The rabbits running in the ditch
Beatniks out to make it rich
Oh no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
When I look….
When I look out my window
What do you think I see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
It’s strange
Sure is strange
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
The rabbits running in the ditch
Oh no
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
When I look…
When I look…

She’s Gonna Get Mad
Words and Music by Doug Martines
You say you love her so
She’s your one and only girl
But you don’t ever let it show
So if there’s any doubt
In how you treated her
You better straighten your act out
(chorus)
‘Cause she’s gonna get mad
She’s gonna get mad, oh yea
She’s gonna get mad
At you
Hey why do you say those things
You know they make her sad
Only heartaches do they bring
So if there’s any doubt
In what you said to her
You better straighten your ass out
(chorus)
So do you want to lose her
Over a stupid fight
Do you want to lose her
And spend another lonely night
Or are you gonna choose her
Over your macho pride
(chorus)

Man In Motion
Words and music by Doug Martines
Man in motion, making his way
Starve the soul
Starve the brain
Starve the senses
Feel no pain
Look at the phone
Look at the sky
Look at the mirror
And start to cry
Hear a bell
Hear a cry
Hear a little voice
Deep inside
He’s a man in motion
Making his way
Through all the confusion
Day after day
A man in motion
Feed the face
Feed the head
Feed the meter
And go to bed
Blow the candle
Blow your mind
Blow the deal
Life is so unkind
Face the music
Face your fear
Face reality
It’s so unclear
It’s a story
It’s a lie
It’s the truth
That’s worth a try
Without a doubt
Working it out
With such devotion
He’s a man in motion
Truth or dare
It’s crazy out there
So much commotion
He’s a man in motion
A man in motion

Time To Go
Words and Music by Doug Martines
It’s an awkward situation
I fell in without contemplation
You know, how these things go
You looked at me with no surprise
You saw through my clever disguise
What now, all I could think was how
Got to get myself out of this place
Can I disappear without a trace
Will anyone know, if I just go
(chorus)
What’s the big deal anyway
The violins will always play my song
All night long
So I should just walk away
Maybe try again another day I know
It’s time to go
I gotta keep myself out of touch
I always seem to say too much
You know, my horror show
They say it’ll be okay
There’s always gonna be another day
Keep trying, but I’m dying
Damn this social etiquette
What really is the benefit
I don’t know, I got to go
(chorus)
