Sparkling world beat fusion with exotic instrumentation and a California vibe, ending with a trippy, mesmerizing jam of West African and East Indian rhythms.

lyrics

Champagne & Crossroads
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

What makes my clock tick faster
Than I recall
When we were living on the edge
Star struck from the start
Living life like art

Step into my Living Room
With all my friends
You’re left behind, I’ll take the wheel
Let me take you home
I don’t want to roam

Champagne and Crossroads, baby
Lead me away
Light up the charcoal, baby
I’m here to stay

Starry night—Lazy night
(Look at my life)
Starry-eyed—Crazy life
(Look at my life)
Get it right-----

Now from our mobile trailer
We’ve got the Good Earth
A UFO over our heads
All of twenty-one
Feel the burning sun

Champagne and Crossroads, baby
Lead me away
Light up the charcoal, baby
I’m here to stay

Champagne and Crossroads, baby
(Look at our life)
Champagne and Crossroads, baby
(Look at our life)
I went down to the crossroads
(Look at our life)
Champagne and Crossroads, baby
