Mother May I Sleep With Danger?

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
