Chorus: Bodies please don't cry Bodies please don't die Bodies please don't cry Bodies I been taking all the silver I been taking 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 raising up the dead Gonna send them to the house of cain I been praying in light Of the waning moon Slay your doggone soul I been taken out of heaven I been put upon this world I been walking up and down to and from 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
