Living For Today Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé I am the ocean Moon rules my tide Take a sip of that potion Lets take a ride Past the worry and past all the pain, Lettin’ go of self doubt, never feelin’ disdain No use lookin’ back at yesterday If it’s heavy on your heart and brings nothin’ but dismay Never know what that future may hold Time to let the present unfold Cuz there’s always blue skies behind the gray, spirits light when we live for today. Ain’t nothing can bring you down When you let your heart surround Your every move Got that choice of what we exude Cuz there’s always blue skies behind the gray, spirits light when we live for today. Now we listen, the truth is simple We’re from the stars and our body is our temple Not to define you nor I, in disguise – we’re all just light Cuz there’s always blue skies behind the gray, spirits light when we live for today. Only want to speak with integrity When I’m true to my word, my world is true to me Movin’ in creative waves, it’s the love that saves It’s that looooove, that saves, that loooove, that saves

Lemonaid 04:46
Lemonaid Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé East was where I was gonna make my way, hands in the air my plans started to fray Thunderstorms were a coming, and I was really bumming Happened for a reason, thought the gods were a teasin’ A chance to move my feet round and round to a grooving beat But times have changed that sound Initial desire, in retrospect taught me a lesson having an effect For the best I knew, confirmed by you, when you left me in the blue And it was fine, that plans had changed, the feelings in my heart could rearrange But what I feel and how I saw you, as a matter of fact, it’s in the same hue Don't need your all, but the promises you make, Cuz I know together these feelings can't be faked. I dig your vibe, and you dig mine, Let's let it be and everything'll be just fine. When life gives you lemons they say make lemonade, but I need something stronger to make these feelings fade So I will take those lemons and add them to my gin, give me two or three and the healing can begin Or give me whiskey with a lemon slice, One or two and everything starts feelin' nice We've done this once, and now we’re doin’ it twice, Will things start to change, or am I just your vice Don't need your all, but the promises you make, Cuz I know together these feelings can't be faked. I dig your vibe, and you dig mine, Let's let it be and everything'll be just fine. There is a lesson that I have learned, Don't put your all into something that’s not earned Cuz life is short and things are instant, Live for yourself don't keep friends at a distance Plans are only tentative and that’s a fact, You could be playing cards with a deck that's stacked Looking forward only brings you back, Live in the now, don't let yourself retract The matter is, is I'm okay; knowing what's forever keeps the anguish at bay And it's just that, all for nothing; friends are forever and the other's just a something Well we're here, and the time is now, so lets twist, and turn, and dance about Don't need your all, but the promises you make, cuz I know together these feelings can't be faked. I dig your vibe, and you dig mine, Let's let it be and everything'll be just fine.

I'll Be True 05:04
I’ll Be True Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé Well I can’t seem to remember What troubled me yesterday All I feel is the love as my pain drifts away My cloudy sight is clearing The weight is off my chest It is that love that takes me to the home that I know best So darlin’ I’ll be true Cuz all I need is you Reflecting something special I feel it in my bones Thru trials and tribulations Not afraid of sticks and stones Cuz names will not define me No pressure for the fame My spirit sings inside me- fueling acclaim So darlin’ I’ll be true Cuz all I need is you Love is quintessential, livin’ rooted with the sea Alignment in potential- the higher self agrees The heart is fundamental; its blaze ignites the spark One with our power, acknowledging the dark Let’s come together accepting as we be Our self is ample in the mission to believe Life is for making, to enjoy, and to see thru Strife is mistaking a lack in our hue So darlin’ I’ll be true Cuz all I need is you Celebrate the union of the shadow and the frame There’s beauty in the shatter of the walls we hold with blame So darlin’ I’ll be true Cuz all I need is you Radical acceptance of the self and all its worth To be the mystic, intent is the birth So darlin’ I’ll be true Cuz all I need is you

Up In Smoke 06:14
Up in Smoke Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé Something about you captivates me But it only takes a breeze to feel what I see Deception is a dangerous game You are the storm before the flame How do you carry all you’re taking for a ride? Seems something scary- holding so much pride You use your lack of words to maim And say it’s your mind to blame Will we go up in smoke or will the beast be tamed? Will we go up in smoke or will the beast be tamed? Find a sense of satisfaction Getting a rise out of your distraction Lost in your own game Do you want the players to remain? Will we go up in smoke or will the beast be tamed? Will we go up in smoke? Will we go up in smoke? Will we go up in smoke? I know you are lost, not caring to be found But I feel your pain and I hear your sound I know you are lost, not caring to be found But I feel your pain and I hear your sound In the night, it’s though we have given it name But in the morning, it’s all back to the same Will we go up in smoke? And will the beast be blamed?

Weave 04:32
Weave Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet Music by Bob Paltrow ©2018 Ruby Flambé We are thirsty, in our time and space Need some magic to quench, to taste Its all around, making it known Thru heart sounds, we watch it grow Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Wanna save you, not enslave you With the sunshine on our side Just a breath before we take our ride Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Please believe before we hit the wall Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Please believe- let’s make the call Feeling the beam, a connection steam Living the dream, assembling our team Light meets light, no need to fight, we can feel, we can feel alright Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Please believe before we hit the wall Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Please believe- let’s make the call Ebb and flow, we already know, under toe, The current swell we are in High tide for the ride, Careful not to crash as we spin, as we spin, as we spin Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Please believe before we hit the wall Gotta weave, weave, weave the web, a safety to fall Please believe- let’s make the call

Hot and Cold 04:56
Hot & Cold Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé Came from the deepest blue Into the dirt he flew Was a master of disguise explains the ease of his lies To believe is to let your self go To believe’s to put your heart in the road There is more to what seems When a man holds both extremes Well he was hot and cold; he was hot and cold A man of cards I do fold Didn’t know what to look for Didn’t know what I could see I needed a light, to accompany me Colors are different in the shadows, luster leaks from below Cloud of illusion, shade from the sky A weight that inspires a feeling to fly Well he was covered in darkness; hunting like a hound Covered in darkness, haunted by his sound Covered in darkness; hunting like a hound Covered in darkness, haunted by his sound Well he was hot and he was cold Covered in darkness He was hot and he was cold A man of cards I do fold

Like Minded 04:52
Likeminded Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé Waiting, contemplating for the real, and while I’m patient I start to feel Listening to the sounds surround, listen to the thoughts abound The faux fleeting heart speaking In search to take a perch On those eyes who listen and those ears that breath in Respect their own truth always sharing their roots Smiles treating and love heating Laid out on the a blanket of earth, the above looks down as we look forth Pause in the moment reflect on the sun, relinquish as one The likeminded, together we will find it The fields of green illuminate absence of the scene We feel deep it in our bones, a feeling we have honed Embracing like bees, at one with the trees Laid out on the a blanket of earth, the above looks down as we look forth Pause in the moment reflect on the sun, relinquish as one The likeminded, together we will find it The likeminded, together we will find it The likeminded, together we will find it Have faith in what we see With our ears we can be free, Free to be you and me, The like minded let’s believe, let’s believe

Land of Everlasting Love Lyrics by Bob Paltrow Music by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé Somehow I lost- all my baggage, moving to another state of mind All the roads that led to nowhere converging at the boarder line And as we cross, this threshold darling Now is as good as anytime to say Book me a one way ticket baby To the land of everlasting love Book me a ticket, book me a ticket- to the land of everlasting love Book me a ticket, book me a ticket- to the land of everlasting love The tender touch of your love, takes me to the only place I’d rather be Nestled in a world where good hearts gather- to the land of everlasting love Book me a ticket, book me a ticket- to the land of everlasting love Book me a ticket, book me a ticket- to the land of everlasting love Book me a ticket, book me a ticket- to the land of everlasting love Book me a ticket, book me a ticket- to the land of everlasting love Somehow I lost- all my baggage, moving to another state of mind All the roads that led to nowhere converging at the boarder line And as we cross, this threshold darling Now is as good as anytime to say Book me a one way ticket baby To the land of everlasting love To the land of everlasting love To the land of everlasting love

Wicked 04:49
Wicked Music & Lyrics by Bailey Ann Martinet ©2018 Ruby Flambé Just one more, let me take it to my core. Just one more, can it ever be like it was before? Just one more, let me break on through the door. Just one more, let me elevate and soar. There’s a place I want to be, so close to taste what I see. As our senses melt away, the wicked comes out to play. As our senses melt away, the wicked comes out to play. Seein’ it from a birds eye view, helps me slip from my blues. Just one more, just one more, just one more Can it ever be like it was before? Just one more, let me elevate and soar. There’s a place I want to be, so close to taste what I see. As our senses melt away, the wicked comes out to play. As our senses melt away, the wicked comes out to play.

St. James Infirmary Blues It was down in old Joe’s barroom, on the corner by the square the usual crowd was assembled big Joe Mckinney was there. He was standing at my shoulder his eyes were blood shot red, he turned to the crowd around him and these were the very words he said. I went down to St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there she laid out on a cold white table, so cold, so white, so fair. Let her go, let her go God bless her, wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over, but she’ll never find a greater man than me There were 16 snow white horses hitched to a rubber tired hack It was only 5 miles to the grave yard, but my baby ain’t ever coming back I may die over the ocean, I may get killed by a cannon ball But you can bet your last wooden knuckle, twas a woman who casued it all When I die, when I die, burry me in my wide brim Stetson hat Put two gold pieces over my eyelids so the lord will know I died standing pat I was 6 crap shooters for pall bearers, 6 chorus girls to sing me a song Put old Dixie jazz band on my hearse wagon to raise hell as I roll along And there he finished his sad story, and took another shot of booze, Said that if anybody asks what killed him, it was the St. James Infirmary blues, it was the St. James Infirmary blues, it was the St. James infirmary blues
