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

repeat intro

i been rasing 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 taking out of Heaven

i been put upon this world

i been walking up and down

to and fro

save your doggone soul

repeat intro

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 dont cry

bodies

cmon take it man (x3)

oh yeah

cmon take it man

Bodies

Bodies stands as a defining track on Danzig's 1992 album, Danzig III: How the Gods Kill. Gliding through the band's signature gothic rock sound, the song captures the dark, theatrical atmosphere that has characterized Glenn Danzig's solo career since the late 1980s. Following the success of his earlier self-titled debut and the follow-up Lucifuge, this third studio effort continued to explore themes of mortality and the supernatural with a polished, heavy production style. The recording showcases the artist's ability to blend punk energy with a brooding, almost cinematic depth. As part of a discography that has consistently pushed the boundaries of alternative rock, Bodies remains a testament to Danzig's enduring influence on the genre and his unique approach to songwriting.
