COMIN' OR GOIN' (C. Thompson)
Are you coming, Are you going
Are you leading or are you on your own
Pick a path and don't look back
If you don't live your life you will never know
So get going, Whatcha waiting for
Time moves slowly but it's ticking away
You'll start believing, In what you're living for
When everyday is as good as today
Take it in, Let it go
Live your life the best you know
And everything is gonna be OK
You shouldn't have it any other way
CRAZY (C. Thompson)
You're rubbin' me the wrong way
You're comin' from the inside
It's always something everyday
You're trippin' on your own lies
Taking it the wrong way
Feeding on the drama
You best not get in our way
Or we'll have to tell your mama
That you're crazy
Crazy baby
Yea you're crazy
Crazy mama
You go tell your people
What you gotta
Make it up and
Create more drama
You know it's what you feed on
It's what you gotta
You go tell your people
That I told your papa
That you're crazy
Crazy baby
Yea you're crazy
Crazy mama
MAI TAI'D ONE ON (C. Thompson)
Well, I left my southern draw in Oklahoma
I Packed my bags and ended up in Kona
I told my friends to meet me at the Kona Inn
Well, we sat right down and ordered up some Mai Tai's
One, two, three, whoa, that's enough for you guys
Before I know what I'd done
I did it again
Well, before my friends could throw me into their car
I found myself inside another tiki bar
I've got my rum in my hand and rum in my head
Well, I stumbled down the road to the ocean
I felt like I was on some crazy potion
The last thing I recall was falling onto my bed
Well, I had a lot of fun and I sat in the sun
I sat back and enjoyed some rum
But before I knew where I went wrong
Mai Tai'd one on
Well, I woke up with a pounding in my head
I went and dragged myself up out of my bed
I never thought that I'd ever feel this low
Crack those nuts and put them in the blender
A mac-accino might make me feel better
B.H.F.B. and I?m good to go
Well, I had a lot of fun and I sat in the sun
I sat back and enjoyed some rum
But before I knew where I went wrong
Mai Tai'd one on
MY HEAD (C. Thompson)
Well, I've done it before but never again
'Cause I was out of my head and out of my skin
Was it some kind of dream or some kind of nightmare
I don't believe I'd ever seen something so frightening
Oh My Head
Well, I don't remember much
It was so hazy
But I was runnin' through the fields
And there were no daisies
Was I out of my head
Some kind of crazy
I don't remember much
It was so hazy
Oh My Head
WHAT AM I ON (C. Thompson)
What am I on
Oh, 'Cause I can't see in front of me
What am I on
'Cause I've lost my personality
What am I on
I have a hard time looking out for me
And things aren't how they used to be
What am I on
What am I on
'Cause I'm too scared to go anywhere
What am I on
What if something happened there
What am I on
I can't change the way I feel
My anger or the way I deal
What am I on
What am I on
Feel me drifting slowly
Slowly drifting out and I am gone
Where I'm going
Well, I've already been
Feel me slowly drifting slowly
Now I feel my back's up against the wall
I'm going where
I shouldn't have been
What am I on
SOMETHING GOOD (C. Thompson)
This is where you're supposed to be
In happiness or tragedy
Life seems to give you what you need
Whether it makes you feel good or bad
Or drags your heart through the sand
You'll feel misunderstood
But you'll learn
Something Good
So take that look right off your face
'Cause there's a smile to replace it
Something good has got to come from this
Whether it makes you feel good or bad
Or drags your heart through the sand
You'll feel misunderstood
But you'll learn
Something Good
BLESSING (C. Thompson)
Let it in
Let it out
I feel love in the air
Traveling with no care
Everyday
Give it away
It comes back to you my friend
'Cause you'll find love in the end
And everyday is a blessing
Breathe it in
So let it in
Let it out
It comes back to you my friend
You'll find love in the end
And everyday is a blessing
Breathe it in
And it's not everyday
That I feel this way...my friend
RIKI (Acoustic Junction) Instrumental
BEGGIN' ME (C. Thompson)
You sure hit me hard
Like a ton of bricks
Right on out of my life
I can't come up with it
'Cause you should be here by my side
But you're with someone else
Life's gonna hit you harder
Than it hit myself
Before you know it baby
You'll come beggin' me
You'll come beggin' me
On your hands and your knees
You?ll come beggin' me
You'll have your day in the sun
You'll think that you're having fun
But the clouds they'll roll in
And thunder will begin
Before you know it babe
You'll come beggin' me
You'll come beggin' me
On your hands and your knees
You'll come beggin' me
SKIPPING STONE (C. Thompson)
My hope's been thrown
Like a skippin' stone
Thrown into the sea
I'm flowin' with the tide
Baby, into the sea
My world's been torn
I've been seeing things
I didn't want to see
I've been in places that
I didn't want to be
It's hard to get by
Livin' in the city
The times get tough
And people bring pity
Into your life
Into your day
You pass them on the train
You pass them on the street
It's the life they choose
But it seems to me
That there's a better way
SUGAR (C. Thompson)
Sugar
Honey
You're my little jellybean
Baby, you're a sweet one
You're my candy girl
You're like a rainbow
A sunset
Baby, you're the brightest thing
I've ever set my eyes on
You're a colorful girl
So take me home and ring my bell
You're the one, baby I can tell
I never knew that it would be so far that I fell
You're like a package
A present
Baby, you're the best gift that anyone has gotten
You're a sight to see
You're like an angel
A flower
Baby, you're the best thing to me
That?s ever happened
I'm a lucky soul
So take me home and ring my bell
You're the one, baby I can tell
I never knew that it would be so far that I fell
GOING HOME (C. Thompson)
We've gotta leave
Before we know
We're going home
We've gotta leave
Before we know
We're going home

GROOVE (C. Thompson)
Back in the days when you were runnin' around,
You couldn't write a lick and it'd get you down,
But since you got away it's opened up your eyes,
To another way of life that gets you by.
So sit back, relax, do what you do,
Let 'em come through if you want 'em too,
Let 'em come the way they want,
It's nothing to flaunt,
But I found my groove angels
UNDERSTOOD (C. Thompson)
I thought that it was understood, people in this world should be good.
But all along they lost their way and gave themselves into hate.
Oh, I can't believe, I can't believe the days,
And it's really bummin' me, it's really bringing me,
It's taking me down to my knees.
Big deal, a big car,
How far do you think it's gonna drive you on the avenue.
Bad thoughts, bad dreams,
It seems your never gonna take another avenue.
EVERY LITTLE THING (C. Thompson)
When it's money that I seek,
It makes me feel so weak,
It's eating at my soul and it will eat everything,
I mean everything.
Get more, go get it, I need some cash.
It doesn't matter how, baby, just get it to me fast,
'Cause it's eating at my soul and it will eat everything,
I mean everything.
Every little thing, everything, every little thing.
I've got to have it all, today and everyday.
SMOOTH (C. Thompson)
It's a sunny day, seventy-five,
Not a nip in the air, a cloud in the sky.
It all sounds good, but one thing is missin'
And I look around, but you're not there.
I like your groovy, smooth way of movin' baby,
I like your face around.
It's a rainy day, the clouds are rumblin'.
Into the sky, I throw a stare,
'Cause there ain't nothing like be caught in a rain storm,
But it would be better yet, if you were here.
It's a peaceful day, spring is bloomin',
There's birds in the sky and love in the air,
But I feel the sun, and the warmth that it gives me,
And it reminds me that your not there.
DANCE (C. Thompson)
Everything is telling me to get up on my feet and dance.
The music makes me want to move,
So I get up on my feet and I dance.
Dance, dance, dance, dance now sugar, shake your bones around.
Dance, dance, dance, dance now honey, move yourself to the sounds.
GONE FISHIN' (C. Thompson)
I was drivin' California, goin' 51 in my Chevrolet.
I had the top down and it was a good day,
Nothing that I know was gonna get in my way.
I took a right turn at the wrong place,
And before you know it there's a gun in my face sayin',
"Hey there mister what you doin here?"
I told him what was up and I was into the clear.
He said, "Where you goin', what you doin', what you need?"
I tell you that cat had everything.
He said, "Do you wanna go up, do you wanna go down?
Do you need something that will spin you around?
Do you need a good buzz for a short time?
If you got a couple days, I could blow your mind.
Just put up a sign on your head that says,
"Gone fishin', gone fishin, down at the fishin' hole"
Well, I obliged I had time to kill,
Money to spend and good times to feel.
So I had one of these, one of that, and one of those,
Before you know it I could not feel my toes.
I went flyin' high, I came crashing down,
Spun out of my head like a circus (Dell'Arte) clown,
But then I woke up in one of the strangest places,
You should have seen the look on their melting faces,
Seeing traces and traces and traces and traces,
Gone fishin' down at the fishin' hole.
I got back into my car and sped on down the street,
But in my head was a symphony,
Of little drips and a swish, a kerplunk,
I pulled to the side because I thought I was drunk.
I said, "What the hells goin' on with me?"
I looked into the mirror and there was a guy with a sheet
Of paper on his head and I read what it said,
A little yellow note with the words that read,
I'm sure of it, it said,
"Gone fishin, gone fishin' down at the fishin' hole"
SURVIVE (C. Thompson)
I took a walk down the street, people runnin' into me,
And I think man how will this world survive.
Took a drive in my car, but I did not get that far
And I think man, how will this world survive,
And I think man, we're lucky to be alive.
I turned on the news today, they had nothing good to say,
And I think man how will this world survive.
Fighting for religious sakes, killing for their gods, oh my god,
And I think man, how will this world survive,
And I think man we're lucky to be alive.
I came home from work today and I had nothing good to say,
And I think man how will this world survive.
'Cause they could drop a bomb today blow a million people away.
I think man how will this world survive,
And I think man we're lucky to be alive.
MILES (C. Thompson)
I've been longing for my brother, many miles away.
I've been thinking about my sister, it's been too many days,
They're in the same damn state,
As my mother and my father, who are so far away.
And I can tell you honey, it's not that good of a day,
It's not that good with them away.
But I know that they are just miles that lay ahead of us baby,
And that it would bring smiles if I'd just hop on that train.
I've been thinking about my family, loved ones and friends.
The ones that make me happy to be a part of them.
Well the people I miss lately are a thousand miles away,
And I wish that I could see them, but it's here I have to stay.
But I know that they are just miles that lay ahead of us, baby,
And that it would bring smiles if I'd just hop on that train.
So gather with me family, let's get together soon,
We need to see each other by the light of the moon,
But I know that they are just miles that lay ahead of us, baby
And that it would bring smiles if I'd just hop on that train.
No matter how many miles,
I long to see your smiles awaiting me back home.
ANGEL OF MERCY (C. Thompson)
Last night, I had the strangest dream.
My god, I could see everything.
So clear, was the vision in my head.
"It's gonna be ok," said a pleasant voice.
"My friend you've got to make a choice.
If you'd like I could take you to your soul.
I'm the angel of mercy,
Come here, tell me anything, everything baby.
I'm the angel of mercy, come here, tell me everything."
My friend, he took a lot of heat,
For walkin' down the wrong street.
My god, is he gonna be ok?
'Cause he is not that bad of a guy,
But sometimes he's just gotta fly, so high, will he ever come down?
MY SOUL (C. Thompson)
I am, I am old, old as the trees in the grove.
I am, I am old, old as the hills are high.
My soul, my soul I know is old, I have traveled many miles.
I know that I am only old as the stars in the sky.
You are, you are old, old as the trees in the grove.
You are, you are old, old as the hills are high.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG (C. Thompson)
I remember the days, so very clear,
Every day passed like thousands of years,
When I was young.
Now they fly by, right before my eyes,
Not like the days of spittin' watermelon seeds into the sky,
When I was young.
Sittin' by the pool, drinkin' soda pop,
Looking at the girls and imagining a lot,
Hey you take me back to when I was young.
Baking my feet on the hot black-top,
Playing 'til dark and never wanting to stop,
When I was young.
I'd be runnin' in the fields, shufflin' my feet,
Singing and doing cartwheels down the street,
When I was young.
Running after balls, jumping in the sea,
Hey little one you're reminding me of me,
You take me back to, when I was young.
I can see it all now, like it was yesterday,
No cares in the world, no nothing but to play,
You take me back to when I was young.
