Body And Soul

Run into the chapel, yeah
Light up every candle
I fall to my knees, I say, God please
What can I do?
Ninety seconds later
Both hands round my neck, I
I plead, oh man, take your hands off
What can I do?
I got an 800 number I like to call
I've got an 800 number I like to call
They ask me if you caused the fall
Instead, I tell them my dream
You're lying, you're crying
I'm holding your hand
But I wanna let go, oh, yeah
But you're, you're dying
I'm screaming
My fingers are slipping
Oh, I wanna let go
For my body and soul
For my body and soul
For my body and soul
90 days later, run into the castle
Oh, I grab what I can, I take the can, I
Take the kids' shoes
I'm living the blues
I changed my locks, I changed my number
I'm living in a slumber
I started smoking again
I had another dream
We're kissing, we're touching
I'm touching you
You're touching me
Oh, I'm bleeding
Oh, and I'm bruising
My fingers are slipping
Oh, I wanna let go, yeah
For my body and soul
For my body and soul
Don't fuck with my kids, you can take my money
You can take my house, you can take my honey
Your angry inch packs a mighty punch, oh
I got my body and soul
(Soul, my body and soul, my body and soul
My body and soul, my body and soul)
Don't fuck with my kids, you can take my money
You can take my house, you can take my honey
Your angry inch packs a mighty punch, oh
I got my body and soul
(Soul, my body and soul, my body and soul
My body and soul, my body and soul)
Don't fuck with my kids, you can take my money
You can take my house, you can take my honey
Your angry inch packs a mighty punch, oh
I got my body and soul
(Soul, my body and soul, my body and soul
My body and soul, my body and soul)
I got my body and soul
(My body and soul, my body and soul
My body and soul, my body and soul)
I got my body and soul
(My body and soul, my body and soul
My body and soul, my body and soul)
I got my body and soul
