Lyrics for Baals Hymn by David Bowie:
| | | Artist: | David Bowie |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Baals Hymn | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 110 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
its 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
