[Intro] Two, three, four [Verse 1] Ive been around But theres nothing that can keep my body down Here underground I got room for my fingers and a voice for crying out loud Yeah, Ive been around But theres nothing that can keep my body down Oh, keep my body down [Verse 2] Ive been around And theres nothing that can keep my body down On my back, oh, theres nothing but pitch black Seems I was sleeping a bit too sound No light, no heat, but what Im feeling Is the [?] or the ceiling But Ive found [?] nothing keeps my body down Oh, keep my body down [Chorus] Ive been sunk down in a cold heap lying Give em a bell on a rope as a hope for the dying Give em a song to sing to keep em all trying Give em a bell on a rope as a hope for the dying man [Verse 3] Can you hear it, that lonesome ringing Over fields of polished stone Can you see it, that last flicker of the sun Hit that swinging brass above my [bones?] Wont you listen, the airs trying to tell you something Well you put us to bed too early now Im coming back around Cause theres nothing thatll keep my body down Oh, keep my body down [Chorus] Ive been sunk down in a cold heap lying Give em a bell on a rope as a hope for the dying Give em a song to sing to keep em all trying Give em a bell on a rope as a hope for the dying man [Verse 4] Ive been around And theres nothing that can keep my body down Oh I burst my lungs with the song I sung And the bell I rung so loud Well I claw the dirt like [the dead I rise?] These [?] angels you [knew?] as a child Their glowing eyes Oh, and their shiny sword to strike you down Oh, keep my body down [Chorus] Ive been sunk down in a cold heap lying Give em a bell on a rope as a hope for the dying Give em a song to sing to keep em all trying Give em a bell on a rope as a hope Yeah, a bell on a rope as a hope Yeah, a bell on a rope as a hope for the dying man
