Joy Crookes – Mother May I Sleep With Danger lyrics

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
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
