[VERSE 1]
Bm G
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
F#m/A
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
Em
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
F#7 Bm
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
Bm G
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
F#m/A
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
Em
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
F#7 Bm
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
Bm G
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
F#m/A F#m
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
Em
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
F#7/A# Bm
He will have his sky down there below

[VERSE 4]
Cm Ab
When the sinners congregate in shame together

Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
Eb Fm
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
G7 Cm
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
Cm Ab
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
Gm
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
Eb Fm
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
G7 Cm
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
Cm Ab
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
Gm/A#
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
Eb Fm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
G7 Cm
Space enough within this woman's womb"

[VERSE 7]
Bm G
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
F#m
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide

Vices have their point, once you see it as such
F#7 Bm
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
Bm G
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
D/A D/F#
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun

Lots of strength is needed and experience too

Swollen bellies can embarrass you

[VERSE 9]

Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears

Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Fm
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
G7 Cm
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
Cm Ab
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
Gm/A#
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
Eb Fm
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
G7 Cm
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
Cm Ab
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
Gm/A#
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed

So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes

He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]

[VERSE 12]

Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
F#m/A
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
Em
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
F#7 Bm
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
