|
Farewell Angelina
|
The bells of the crown
|
Are being stolen by bandits
|
I must follow the sound
|
The triangle tingles
|
And the trumpets play slow
|
Farewell Angelina
|
The sky is on fire
|
And I must go.
|
|
There's no need for anger
|
There's no need for blame
|
There's nothing to prove
|
Ev'rything's still the same
|
Just a table standing empty
|
By the edge of the sea
|
Farewell Angelina
|
The sky is trembling
|
And I must leave.
|
|
The jacks and the queens
|
Have forsaked the courtyard
|
Fifty-two gypsies
|
Now file past the guards
|
In the space where the deuce
|
And the ace once ran wild
|
Farewell Angelina
|
The sky is folding
|
I'll see you in a while.
|
|
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
|
Perched in the sun
|
Shooting tin cans
|
With a sawed-off shotgun
|
And the neighbors they clap
|
And they cheer with each blast
|
Farewell Angelina
|
The sky's changing color
|
And I must leave fast.
|
|
King Kong, little elves
|
On the rooftops they dance
|
Valentino-type tangos
|
While the make-up man's hands
|
Shut the eyes of the dead
|
Not to embarrass anyone
|
Farewell Angelina
|
The sky is embarassed
|
And I must be gone.
|
|
The machine guns are roaring
|
The puppets heave rocks
|
The fiends nail time bombs
|
To the hands of the clocks
|
Call me any name you like
|
I will never deny it
|
Farewell Angelina
|
The sky is errupting
|
I must go where it's quiet.
