Mother May I Sleep With Danger?

Lyrics

Mother, may I sleep with danger, please?
 It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
 Oh, oh, and you saw but you choose to ignore
 But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream
 Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
 You said, "Baby, learn your lessons when you step on cracks"
 Oh, there's no time to fall, existence would call
 And see experimenting
 And I guess there's just no other way
 I've been drawn to a new escape, -ape
 'Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking up zoots
 I've slipped away
 Now I'm tonguing on a Rizla
 And you sachet snows a deal for us
 Oh, and dangers got me wrapped up 'round his thumb
 But it's no trap 'cause I'm in love
 I said, "I'm in love"
 I said, "I'm in love"
 Yeah, oh, oh, oh, ah
 I said, "I'm in love"
 I said, "I'm in love"
 Yeah, oh, oh, oh, ah
 Mother, may I sleep with danger, please?
 It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
 Oh, oh, and you saw but you choose to ignore
 But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream
 Now I don't understand how you can hold me back
 You said, "Baby, learn your lessons when you step on cracks"
 So, no, there's no time to fall how you go, oh
 I'll get what I want, you see
 'Cause I like to tread so carefully
 And you won't, won't, won't, won't ever know
 So, mother, may sleep with danger, please?
 It's been knocking n my door since I was seventeen
 Oh, oh, and you saw
 But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream
 
 Mother, may I sleep with danger, please?
