Intro
G#m E/G# B/F# Emaj7 Em
[VERSE 1]
G#m E
Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
D#m/F#
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
C#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
D#7 G#m
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
[VERSE 2]
G#m E
That same sky remained with him in joy and care
D#m/F#
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
C#m
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
D#7 G#m
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
[VERSE 3]
G#m E
So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
D#m/F# D#m
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
C#m
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
D#7/G G#m
He will have his sky down there below
[LINK 1]
G#m E/G# B/F# Emaj7 Em
[VERSE 4]
Am F
When the sinners congregate in shame together
Em
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
C Dm
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
E7 Am
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
[VERSE 5]
Am F
And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
Em
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
C Dm
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
E7 Am
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
[VERSE 6]
Am F
And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
Em/G
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
C Dm
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
E7 Am
Space enough within this woman's womb"
[LINK 2]
Am E/G# Em/G D/F# Dm/F E7 E7
[VERSE 7]
G#m E
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
D#m
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
C#m
Vices have their point, once you see it as such
D#7 G#m
Stick to two for one will be too much
[VERSE 8]
G#m E
Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
B/F# B/D#
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
C#m/E
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
D#7/G G#m
Swollen bellies can embarrass you
[LINK 3]
G#m E/G# B/F# Emaj7 Em
[VERSE 9]
Am F
Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears
Em/G
Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
Dm
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
E7 Am
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
[VERSE 10]
Am F
Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky
Em/G
As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
C Dm
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop
E7 Am
Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup
[VERSE 11]
Am F
When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
Em/G
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
C Dm
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes
E7 Am
He'll just have enough sky when he's dead
[LINK 4]
Am E/G# Em/G D/F# Dm/F E7 E7
[VERSE 12]
G#m E
Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal
D#m/F#
Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale
C#m
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
D#7 G#m
Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
