It was an early Monday morning
I'm racing for the stars
I had not time to smell no roses
Catching a train for Mars
I always tried to ride a rainbow
I need something to prove
But one day an old man turned and said
Your burnin' out the fuse

Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine
A little rest is needed
Leave the world behind
Find a piece of mind

In Bourbon street I had my palm read
From the gypsy kind
She said to me don't close no doorways
Open up your mind

Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine
A little rest is needed
Leave the world behind
Find a piece of mind

Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine
A little rest is needed
Leave the world behind
Find a piece of mind
Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine
A little rest is needed
Leave the world behind
Find a piece of mind

Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine
A little rest is needed
Leave the world behind
Find a piece of mind
