[VERSE 1]
A#m F#
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
Fm/G#
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
D#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
F7 A#m
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
A#m F#
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
Fm/G#
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
D#m
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
F7 A#m
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
A#m F#
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
Fm/G# Fm
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
D#m
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
F7/A A#m
He will have his sky down there below

[VERSE 4]
Bm G
When the sinners congregate in shame together
F#m
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
D Fbm
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
F#7 Bm
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
Bm G
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
F#m
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
D Fbm
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
F#7 Bm
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
Bm G
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
F#m/A
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
D Fbm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
F#7 Bm
Space enough within this woman's womb"

[VERSE 7]
A#m F#
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
Fm
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
D#m
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
F7 A#m
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
A#m F#
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
C#/G# C#/F
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
D#m/F#
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
F7/A A#m
Swollen bellies can embarrass you

[VERSE 9]
Bm G
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
F#m/A
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Fbm
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
F#7 Bm
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
Bm G
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
F#m/A
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
D Fbm
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
F#7 Bm
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
Bm G
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
F#m/A
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
D Fbm
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
F#7 Bm
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]
Bm F#/A# F#m/A Fb/G# Fbm/G F#7 F#7
[VERSE 12]
A#m F#
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
Fm/G#
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
D#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
F7 A#m
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
