"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 chose 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
Your existence would call
And see experimenting

And I guess there's just no other way
I've been drawn to a new escape
'Cause I'm wearing bamboo and I'm picking up zoots
I've slipped away
Now I'm tonguing on a Rizla
And your sachet snows a deal for us

Oh, and danger's got me wrapped up round its 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
I said I'm in love
I said I'm in love, love

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, no, there's no time to fall
How you go, oh

I'll get what I want, you see
'Cause I planted treads so carefully
And you won't, won't, won't, won't ever know

So, mother, may I sleep with danger, please?
It's been knocking on my door since I was seventeen
Oh, oh, and you saw
But now it's more than a wish, it's a dream
