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 gaurds 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 I must go where it's quiet.
