Farewell, Angelina

Farewell, angelina,

The bells of the crown

Have been stolen by bandits,

I must follow the sound

The triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow

But 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,

Everything's still the same

Just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea

Means farewell, angelina,

The sky is trembling, and i must leave

The jack and the queen have forsaken the courtyard

And 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 pirate sit perched in the sun

Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun

And the neighbors,

They clap and they cheer with each blast

But farewell, angelina,

The sky's changing color, and i must leave fast

King kong, little elves on the rooftop, they dance

Valentino-type tangos while the make-up man's hands

Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone

But farewell, angelina,

The sky is embarrassed, and i must be gone

The machine guns are roaring,

And the puppets heave rocks

And fiends nail time-bombs to the hands of the clocks

Call me any name you like,

I will never deny it

But farewell, angelina,

The sky is empty, i must go where it's quiet

Call me any name you like,

I will never deny it

But farewell, angelina,

The sky is empty, i must go where it's quiet
