Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing baal

Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale

Nakedyoungimmensely marvellous

Like baal loved itwhen he came to us



That same sky remained with him in joy and care

Even when baal slept peaceful and unaware

At night a lilac skya drunken baal

Turning pious as the sky grows pale



So through hospitalcathedralwhiskey bar

Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go

When baal's tiredboysbaal cannot fall far

He will have his sky down there below



When the sinners congregate in shame together

Baal lay nakedrevelling in their distress

Only skya sky that will go on forever

Formed a blanket for his nakedness



And that lusty girlthe worldwho'll laughing yield

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

Sometimes gave him love-bitessuch as can't be healed

Baal survived ithe just used his eyes



And when baal saw lots of corpses scattered round

He felt twice the thrilldespite the lack of room

"space enough" said baal"then I'll thicken the ground

Space enough within this woman's womb"



Any vice for baal has got it's useful side

It's the man who practices ithe can't abide

Vices have their pointonce you see it as such

Stick to two for one will be too much



Slacknesssoftness are the sort of things to shun

Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun

Lots of strength is needed and experience too

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

Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep



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 deadbut vultures swoop

Baal in silence dines on vulture-soup



When the dark womb drags him down to it's prize

What's the world still mean to baalhe's overfed

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 therequiet and pale

Nakedyoungimmensely marvellous

Like baal loved it when he lived with us
