verse 1
Em                                                                                                                      C  
  Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal
                                                                                                          Bm/D  
Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
                                                                Am  
Naked, young, immensely marvellous
                                          B7                                              Em  
Like Baal loved it, when he came to us
verse 2
Em                                                                                                              C  
  That same sky remained with him in joy and care
                                                                                          Bm/D  
Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware
                                                                Am  
At night a lilac sky, a drunken Baal
                     B7                                                      Em  
Turning pious as the sky grows pale
verse 3
Em                                                                                                    C  
  So through hospital, cathedral, whiskey bar
                                                                                                     Bm/D            Bm  
Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
                                                                                          Am  
When Baal's tired, boys, Baal cannot fall far
                                             B7/D#                              Em  
He will have his sky down there below

Fm                                                                                                    Db  
  When the sinners congregate in shame together
                                                                                                  Cm  
Baal lay naked, revelling in their distress
             Ab                                                                         Bbm  
Only sky, a sky that will go on forever
                        C7                                                 Fm  
Formed a blanket for his nakedness
VERSE 5
Fm                                                                                                                              Db  
  And that lusty girl, the world, who'll laugh and yield
                                                                                                                     Cm  
To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs
                          Ab                                                                                              Bbm  
Sometimes gave him love-bites, such as can't be healed
                     C7                                                                 Fm  
Baal survived it, he just used his eyes
VERSE 6
Fm                                                                                                                 Db  
  And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round
                                                                                                                          Cm  
He felt twice the thrill, despite the lack of room
                        Ab                                                                         Bbm  
"Space enough" said Baal, "they're not thick on the ground
                  C7                                                              Fm  
Space enough within this woman's womb"

Em                                                                                            C  
Any vice for Baal has got its useful side
                                                                                        Bm  
It's the man who practice it, he can't abide
                                                                                        Am  
Vices have their point, once you see it as such

Stick to two for one will be too much
VERSE 8
Em                                                                                                                      C  
  Slackness, softness are the sort of things to shun
                                                                                        G/D                 G/B  
Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun
                                                                                        Am/C  
Lots of strength is needed and experience too
                                                          B7/D#              Em  
Swollen bellies can embarrass you

Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears
                                                                                                          Bbm  
Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth
                          C7                                                              Fm  
Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep
verse 10
Fm                                                                                                         Db  
  Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky

As they wait up there to see if Baal will die
                          Ab                                                                                              Bbm  
Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead, but vultures swoop

Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup

  When the dark womb drags him down to its prize
                                                                                                                          Cm  
What's the world still mean to Baal, he's overfed
                     Ab                                                                              Bbm  
So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes

He'll just have enough sky when he's dead

  Once the Earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal

Even then the sky was up there, quiet and pale

Naked, young, immensely marvellous
B7                                                                                                 Em  
  Like Baal loved it when he lived with us
