Mother, could I go outside, please?
Promise I won’t go very far
I understand the world’s an evil place
Just want one taste
I’m stuck inside a jar [bad word] on, you know I love you
Very much
What’s the worst it could do?

Mother could I go outside please?
Just want to see the flowers and bees
But I want to

Mother, could I go outside, please?
I really think I need a change
It’s getting boring painting all the time
And reading nurs’ry rhymes
That never seem to change

All I want’s to find the lights
And know why they shine
Who are they shining for?

Mother, could I go outside, please?
Wait, wait, please, just hear me out
I know, I know it really bothers you
What I want to do
To learn what life’s about

But I’ve been stuck inside this tower
For eight-teen years
Why won’t you understand?

Mother, could I just go outside, please?
