Mother May I Sleep With Danger?
Joy Crookes
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 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
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
