    Baal's Hymn - David Bowie

    Whilst his mother's womb
    Contained the growing Baal

    Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale
    Naked young immensely marvellous

    Like Baal loved it when 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 sky a drunken Baal

    Turning pious as the sky grows pale

    So through hospital cathedral whiskey bar
    Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go
    When Baal's tired boys Baal cannot fall far
    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

    Formed a blanket for his nakedness

    And that lusty girl the world
    Who'll laughing 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

    And when Baal saw
    Lots of corpses scattered round

    He felt twice the thrill
    Despite 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 it
    He can't abide
    Vices have their point
    Once you see it as such
    Stick to two for one will be too much

    Slackness softness 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 dead
    But 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 Baal
    He'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 there
    Quiet and pale

    Naked young immensely marvellous

    Like Baal loved it when he came with us
