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
