Am F/A C/G Fmaj7 Fm
[VERSE 1]
Am F
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
Em/G
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
Dm
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
E7 Am
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
Am F
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
Em/G
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
Dm
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
E7 Am
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
Am F
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
Em/G Em
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
Dm
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
E7/G# Am
He will have his sky down there below

When the sinners congregate in shame together

Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress

Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
F7 A#m
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
A#m Gb
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield

To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs

Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed

Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
A#m Gb
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
Fm/Ab
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
Db Ebm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground

Space enough within this woman's womb"

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

Vices have their point, once you see it as such
E7 Am
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]

Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun

Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun

Swollen bellies can embarrass you

Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears

Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears

Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
F7 A#m
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
A#m Gb
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky

As they wait up there to see if Baal will die

Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop

Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
A#m Gb
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
Fm/Ab
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]
A#m F/A Fm/Ab Eb/G Ebm/Gb F7 F7
[VERSE 12]
Am F
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
Em/G
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
Dm
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
E7 Am
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
