The Mud Dance in Chains

Ooh
Slip
No
Yes

I mustn't slip into the mud
Again and again
I prance
I dance

I mustn't slip into the mud
But again and again
Can't prance
Can't dance

To dance in chains
To dance near mud
Into the mud I must go
Unless I prance and dance

Is that how it will always be?

I've heard of drier, greener lands
I've heard of lighter, freer feet
