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 weak, 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 Bodies, please don't cry Bodies, don't die Bodies, please don't cry Bodies I been raising up the dead Gonna send them to the house of Cain I been praying in the light of the warning moon Slay your doggone soul I've been taken out of Heaven I been put upon this world I been walking up and down, to and fro Save your doggone soul Bodies, please don't cry Bodies, don't die Bodies, please don't cry Bodies 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 Bodies, please don't cry Bodies Come on, take it home Come on, take 'em back Come on, take 'em back home
