[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies, don't die
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies, don't die
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies
(I'm gonna save!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I been raising up the dead
Gonna send them to the house of Cain
I been praying in the light of the waning 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
[Chorus]
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies, don't die
Bodies, please don't cry
Bodies
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Come on, take it home
Come on, take 'em back
Come on, take 'em back home
