The Raincoats
Dance of Hopping Mad
Worry, worry, worry the great enemy
Stinging, stinging your mind
Burning, burning, blazing anxieties
Pulling down the blinds

Looking back on time with self-torturing shame
Who has committed the crime?
Who has to hold the blame?
The crime, the blame, the crime, the blame

Binding with briars your joys and desires
Binding with barbed wire joy and desire

This is wrong, this is bad
So many things I never had
If I sit and contemplate the damage done to me
I can do a dance of hopping mad
I’m unable to see
Hip hop hip hip hop hip hip dip hop hop (x4)

Do you love to think of yourself
As a great sufferer
Sufferers, you obscure and delay
The breath and the spirit to follow their way

Shame shame shame shame shame
Shame shame shame
Binding with briars your joys and desires
Binding with barbed wire joy and desire

Making mistakes and having regrets
More fearful frets and icy sweats
Making mistakes and having regrets
More fearful frets and icy sweats
A hip hop hip hip hop hip hip dip hop hop (x4)

Looking back on time with self-torturing shame
Who has committed the crime?
Who has to hold the blame?
The crime, the blame, the crime, the blame
Nothing remains behind
Nothing you must remember
When you do go wrong you must go on

Moving on with renewed vigor
Breathing from the deep
The oxygen and the river
Must in us keep

Harmony (repeated)
