Intro
F#m D/F# A/E Dmaj7 Dm
[VERSE 1]
F#m D
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
C#m/E
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
Bm
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
C#7 F#m
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
F#m D
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
C#m/E
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
Bm
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
C#7 F#m
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
F#m D
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
C#m/E C#m
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
Bm
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
C#7/F F#m
He will have his sky down there below
[LINK 1]
F#m D/F# A/E Dmaj7 Dm
[VERSE 4]
Gm Eb
When the sinners congregate in shame together
Dm
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
A# Cm
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
D7 Gm
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
Gm Eb
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
Dm
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
A# Cm
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
D7 Gm
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
Gm Eb
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
Dm/F
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
A# Cm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
D7 Gm
Space enough within this woman's womb"
[LINK 2]
Gm D/F# Dm/F C/E Cm/Eb D7 D7
[VERSE 7]
F#m D
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
C#m
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
Bm
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
C#7 F#m
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
F#m D
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
A/E A/C#
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
Bm/D
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
C#7/F F#m
Swollen bellies can embarrass you
[LINK 3]
F#m D/F# A/E Dmaj7 Dm
[VERSE 9]
Gm Eb
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
Dm/F
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Cm
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
D7 Gm
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
Gm Eb
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
Dm/F
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
A# Cm
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
D7 Gm
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
Gm Eb
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
Dm/F
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
A# Cm
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
D7 Gm
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]
Gm D/F# Dm/F C/E Cm/Eb D7 D7
[VERSE 12]
F#m D
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
C#m/E
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
Bm
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
C#7 F#m
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
