Intro
Dm A#/D F/C A#maj7 A#m
[VERSE 1]
Dm A#
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
Am/C
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
Gm
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
A7 Dm
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
Dm A#
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
Am/C
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
Gm
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
A7 Dm
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
Dm A#
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
Am/C Am
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
Gm
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
A7/C# Dm
He will have his sky down there below
[LINK 1]
Dm A#/D F/C A#maj7 A#m
[VERSE 4]
D#m Cb
When the sinners congregate in shame together
A#m
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
Gb Abm
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
A#7 D#m
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
D#m Cb
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
A#m
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
Gb Abm
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
A#7 D#m
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
D#m Cb
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
A#m/Db
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
Gb Abm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
A#7 D#m
Space enough within this woman's womb"
[LINK 2]
D#m A#/D A#m/Db Ab/C Abm/Cb A#7 A#7
[VERSE 7]
Dm A#
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
Am
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
Gm
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
A7 Dm
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
Dm A#
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
F/C F/A
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
Gm/A#
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
A7/C# Dm
Swollen bellies can embarrass you
[LINK 3]
Dm A#/D F/C A#maj7 A#m
[VERSE 9]
D#m Cb
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
A#m/Db
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Abm
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
A#7 D#m
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
D#m Cb
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
A#m/Db
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
Gb Abm
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
A#7 D#m
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
D#m Cb
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
A#m/Db
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
Gb Abm
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
A#7 D#m
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]
D#m A#/D A#m/Db Ab/C Abm/Cb A#7 A#7
[VERSE 12]
Dm A#
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
Am/C
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
Gm
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
A7 Dm
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
