Baal's Hymn (Der Choral Vom Großen Baal) (2017 Remastered Version) - David Bowie (大卫·鲍伊)[00:00:00]

Written by：Bertholt Brecht/Dominic Muldowney[00:00:01]

Whilst his mother's womb contained the growing Baal[00:00:12]

Even then the sky was waiting quiet and pale[00:00:17]

Naked young immensely marvellous[00:00:20]

Like Baal loved it when he came to us[00:00:24]

That same sky remained with him in joy and care[00:00:29]

Even when Baal slept peaceful and unaware[00:00:33]

At night a lilac sky a drunken Baal[00:00:37]

Turning pious as the sky grows pale[00:00:41]

So through hospital cathedral whiskey bar[00:00:46]

Baal kept moving onwards and just let things go[00:00:49]

When Baal's tired boys Baal cannot fall far[00:00:53]

He will have his sky down there below[00:00:57]

When the sinners congregate in shame together[00:01:09]

Baal lay naked revelling in their distress[00:01:13]

Only sky a sky that will go on forever[00:01:16]

Formed a blanket for his nakedness[00:01:20]

And that lusty girl the world who'll laughing yield[00:01:24]

To the men who'll stand the pressure of her thighs[00:01:27]

Sometimes gave him love-bites such as can't be healed[00:01:31]

Baal survived it he just used his eyes[00:01:35]

And when Baal saw lots of corpses scattered round[00:01:39]

He felt twice the thrill despite the lack of room[00:01:42]

Space enough said Baal then I'll thicken the ground[00:01:46]

Space enough within this woman's womb[00:01:49]

Any vice for Baal has got its useful side[00:02:06]

It's the man who practices it he can't abide[00:02:09]

Vices have their point once you see it as such[00:02:12]

Stick to two for one will be too much[00:02:15]

Slackness softness are the sort of things to shun[00:02:19]

Nothing could be harder than the quest for fun[00:02:22]

Lots of strength is needed and experience too[00:02:25]

Swollen bellies can embarrass you[00:02:29]

Under gloomy stars and this poor veil of tears[00:02:41]

Baal will graze a pasture till it disappears[00:02:45]

Once it's been digested to the forest's teeth[00:02:49]

Baal trod singing for a well earned sleep[00:02:52]

Baal can spot the vultures in the stormy sky[00:02:56]

As they wait up there to see if Baal will die[00:03:00]

Sometimes Baal pretends he's dead but vultures swoop[00:03:04]

Baal in silence dines on vulture soup[00:03:07]

When the dark womb drags him down to its prize[00:03:11]

What's the world still mean to Baal he's overfed[00:03:15]

So much sky is lurking still behind his eyes[00:03:19]

He'll just have enough sky when he's dead[00:03:22]

Once the earth's dark womb engulfed the rotting Baal[00:03:39]

Even then the sky was up there quiet and pale[00:03:43]

Naked young immensely marvellous[00:03:47]

Like Baal loved it when he lived with us[00:03:53]
