Lyrics

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway
Came to move with the tide
Came to play outside
These bodies that we make sit down all day

These bodies that don't want all the wine
We give 'em
They try to warn us off but
We won't listen

Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to run and jump
These bodies that came to dance for a day
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies we make stay still all day
They want to play outside
Move with the moon and tide
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

They're so mysterious and so we fear them
They try to warn us
But we can't hear them
Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to do their stuff
These bodies that came to dance for a day
These bodies we don't listen to anyway

Williamsburg Music Hall

Lyrics

These bodies ??? in the world, no
These bodies of ours that we don't pay no mind
We indulge but we won't listen to ???
??? But we won't listen to them
Anyway

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came here to contort
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that came to play
That we make sit down all day
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that don't want all the snacks
We give 'em
These bodies that warn us sometimes
And do we listen?

These bodies well yes yes yes
That stink of shit and stink of piss
These bodies that came to dance and play
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies, hard and tough
They talk but do we listen
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that don't want all the wine
We give 'em
These bodies that talk to us
But we don't listen

These bodies, well start them up
They even need a ??? they need a ???
These bodies that came to laugh and play
These bodies that we don't listen to
[We feed them but we ignore what they tell us
That's the end of the song]

Lyrics

These bodies that came to cavort and play
These bodies that don't want to stay still
Cramped up all day
These bodes won't

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we make stand still all day

They wanna move with the tide
Want to play outside
These bodies that we don't listen too anyway

These bodies that don't want all the wine
We give 'em
They try to warn us off but
We won't listen

No

Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to do their stuff
These bodies that came to dance for a day
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies we make sit down all day
???
???
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

They're so mysterious
???
???
Are we just ???

Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to run and jump
These bodies that came to play
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

??? Full of life
Our partner for the day and the night
These bodies that we make stay still all day

We ask them one more mile
One more push up
We ask them
One more this, one more that
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

???

???

???

These bodies that don't want all the wine
We give 'em
They try to warn us off but
We won't listen

Ok so let's start 'em up
Get them ready to do their stuff
These bodes that came to ???
??? We don't listen to anyway

???
???

These bodies ???
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we don't listen much to anyway

They came to ???
They came to shake their fists sir
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

They're so mysterious and so we fear them
Are we these bodies, or are we just in them?

Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to do their stuff
These bodies are made to dance for a day
These bodies we don't listen to anyway

Unitarian Church Basement

Lyrics

[These bodies folks
They came to Earth to cavort
These bodies came to contort
These bodies that I dare say don't want to be stiff and rigid
All day long
No
These bodies that
Do we listen to them when they say they want to move?
Do we listen?]

These bodies that came to cavort

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we make sit down all day

They want to move with the tide
They want to play outside
These bodies that we don't listen to as one, two
One, two

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we make sit down all day

They want to play outside
They want to move with the tide
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

These bodies that don't want all the wine
We give 'em
They try to warn us but
We won't listen
We won't listen

They're so mysterious and so we fear them
Are we these bodies or are we just near them?

Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to do their stuff, all right
These bodies that came to dance for a day
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

???
??? In the world
These bodies we don't listen to anyway

They're so full of life
Our hopes for the day and the night
These bodies we don't listen to anyway

[Your drummer tonight, every night has been Tommy, Tommy Larkins]

They're so, they're so full of life
Our hopes for the day and the night
These bodies that we make sit still all day

They want to move with the tide
They want to play outside
These bodies
Bodies

Cat's Cradle

Lyrics

[These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we don't pay no mind all day
These bodies]

These bodies that came to cavort
These bodies that came to contort
These bodies that we don't pay no mind all day
???
???
???
These bodies that we don't pay no mind all day

These bodies that don't want all the wine
We give 'em
They try to warn us off
But we won't listen

Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to do their stuff
These bodies that came to dance for a day
These bodies that we don't listen to anyway

???
Full of lights
???
These bodies that we don't pay no mind all day

These bodies
[??? Tommy, Tommy Larkins]

They're so mysterious and so we fear them
They try to warn us
But we won't hear them
Ok so let's start 'em up
They're ready to do their stuff
These bodies that came to dance for a day
These bodies we won't listen to anyway
