[Intro] Two, three, four [Verse 1] I've been around But there's nothing that can keep my body down Here underground I got room for my fingers and a voice for crying out loud Yeah, I've been around But there's nothing that can keep my body down Oh, keep my body down [Verse 2] I've been around And there's nothing that can keep my body down On my back, oh, there's nothing but pitch black Seems I was sleeping a bit too sound No light, no heat, but what I'm feeling Is the [?] or the ceiling But I've found [?] nothing keeps my body down Oh, keep my body down [Chorus] I've 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?] Won't you listen, the air's trying to tell you something Well you put us to bed too early now I'm coming back around 'Cause there's nothing that'll keep my body down Oh, keep my body down [Chorus] I've 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] I've been around And there's 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] I've 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
