Intro
C#m A/C# E/B Amaj7 Am
[VERSE 1]
C#m A
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
G#m/B
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
F#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
G#7 C#m
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
C#m A
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
G#m/B
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
F#m
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
G#7 C#m
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
C#m A
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
G#m/B G#m
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
F#m
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
G#7/C C#m
He will have his sky down there below
[LINK 1]
C#m A/C# E/B Amaj7 Am
[VERSE 4]
Dm A#
When the sinners congregate in shame together
Am
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
F Gm
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
A7 Dm
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
Dm A#
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
Am
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
F Gm
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
A7 Dm
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
Dm A#
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
Am/C
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
F Gm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
A7 Dm
Space enough within this woman's womb"
[LINK 2]
Dm A/C# Am/C G/B Gm/A# A7 A7
[VERSE 7]
C#m A
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
G#m
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
F#m
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
G#7 C#m
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
C#m A
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
E/B E/G#
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
F#m/A
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
G#7/C C#m
Swollen bellies can embarrass you
[LINK 3]
C#m A/C# E/B Amaj7 Am
[VERSE 9]
Dm A#
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
Am/C
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Gm
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
A7 Dm
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
Dm A#
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
Am/C
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
F Gm
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
A7 Dm
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
Dm A#
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
Am/C
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
F Gm
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
A7 Dm
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]
Dm A/C# Am/C G/B Gm/A# A7 A7
[VERSE 12]
C#m A
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
G#m/B
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
F#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
G#7 C#m
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
