A Body Goes Down Lyrics
[00:34.37] Once in a while
[00:37.95] A man comes along
[00:43.32] Even his failures were favorite songs
[00:52.40] Oh to have made something so unsurpassed
[00:59.65] As certain things fall away
[01:04.11] So certain things last
[01:10.76]
[01:34.07] A body goes down
[01:37.61] In the Mississippi waters
[01:43.06] Weighted by a beauty
[01:45.78] Afraid of its light
[01:50.39] Notify your holy men
[01:54.87] Console your sons and daughters
[01:59.30] And tell me one more time
[02:03.83] What is just
[02:07.41] What is right
[02:11.27]
[02:42.71] Chances are good
[02:46.38] We spread blasphemous lies
[02:51.70] Safe to say nobody knew what was inside
[03:00.85] Of course there is grace
[03:04.45] And those halos of pain
[03:08.95] Maybe he sang what he came here to sing
[03:19.53]
[03:43.35] Chorus
[03:45.86]
[04:54.78] Speed on to the next world
[04:56.52] Speed on to the next life
[05:01.02] Better I'm sure by far
[05:07.13]
[05:10.13] Orpheus driven
[05:14.68] Treasures given
[05:18.23] Heal the most broken of hearts
[05:26.31] Speed on, speed on, speed on
[05:46.11]
[00:37.95] A man comes along
[00:43.32] Even his failures were favorite songs
[00:52.40] Oh to have made something so unsurpassed
[00:59.65] As certain things fall away
[01:04.11] So certain things last
[01:10.76]
[01:34.07] A body goes down
[01:37.61] In the Mississippi waters
[01:43.06] Weighted by a beauty
[01:45.78] Afraid of its light
[01:50.39] Notify your holy men
[01:54.87] Console your sons and daughters
[01:59.30] And tell me one more time
[02:03.83] What is just
[02:07.41] What is right
