[INTRO]
Em C/E G/D Cmaj7 Cm
[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
[LINK 1]
Em C/E G/D Cmaj7 Cm
[VERSE 4]
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
