Intro
D#m B/D# F#/C# Bmaj7 Bm
[VERSE 1]
D#m B
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
A#m/C#
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
G#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
A#7 D#m
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
D#m B
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
A#m/C#
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
G#m
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
A#7 D#m
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
D#m B
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
A#m/C# A#m
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
G#m
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
A#7/D D#m
He will have his sky down there below
[LINK 1]
D#m B/D# F#/C# Bmaj7 Bm
[VERSE 4]
Em C
When the sinners congregate in shame together
Bm
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
G Am
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
B7 Em
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
Em C
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
Bm
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
G Am
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
B7 Em
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
Em C
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
Bm/D
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
G Am
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
B7 Em
Space enough within this woman's womb"
[LINK 2]
Em B/D# Bm/D A/C# Am/C B7 B7
[VERSE 7]
D#m B
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
A#m
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
G#m
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
A#7 D#m
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
D#m B
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
F#/C# F#/A#
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
G#m/B
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
A#7/D D#m
Swollen bellies can embarrass you
[LINK 3]
D#m B/D# F#/C# Bmaj7 Bm
[VERSE 9]
Em C
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
Bm/D
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Am
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
B7 Em
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
Em C
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
Bm/D
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
G Am
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
B7 Em
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
Em C
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
Bm/D
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
G Am
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
B7 Em
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]
Em B/D# Bm/D A/C# Am/C B7 B7
[VERSE 12]
D#m B
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
A#m/C#
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
G#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
A#7 D#m
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
