Baal's Hymn (Live)歌词
作曲 : Dominic Muldowney/Bertholt Brecht
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
