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 Come 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?
