[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
