[chorus:]
bodies
please

don't cry
bodies
don't die

bodies
please don't cry
bodies


i been taking all the silver
i been saving all the gold

i'm gonna stuff it down the throat
of a week old corpse
save that doggone soul

i been saving up my pain
i'm gonna give it back in spades
i been strangling the cries

from the murder of love
save your soul tonight


i been rasing up the dead
gonna send them to the house of cain
i been praying in light

of the warning moon
slay your doggone soul
i been put upon this world

i been walking up and down
to and fro
save your doggone soul


i got bodies on the left
i got bodies on the right

i got bodies
up and down
all across town

save your soul tonight
