[Verse 1]
Babe, I see you're holding yourself tight
You press your ribs down on the right
You're driving drunk again tonight
You have a cigarette and you're patting down your pockets for a light
[Verse 2]
Babe, you got a ragged pair of pants
Your face is trembling like a dance
In your belly something's climbing higher like a nest of ants
On their way to the light
[Chorus]
It's time to rest
Babe it's time to rest
You push yourself until you crack
I don't see how you can get back
From the ledge where you can hear your angles sing
From the ledge where you can feel so painfully everything
Inside you and around you
[Verse 3]
Babe, I see why you need your wine
You are racing against time
Your spiritual ambition makes the sweat flow from your mind
[Verse 4]
Babe, can you make it with just a taste?
Are you okay with all this space?
You don't know it but you're full of grace
Though concentration is angry on your face
[Chorus]
It's time to rest
Babe it's time to rest
You push yourself until you crack
I don't see how you can get back
From the ledge where you can hear your angles sing
From the ledge where you can feel so painfully everything
Inside you and around you
[Outro]
It's time to rest
Babe, it's time to rest
It's time to rest. Babe
It's time to rest
