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
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]
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

Our partner for the day and the night
These bodies that we make stay still all day

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
[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

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
