Farewell, Angelina

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

The jack and the queen have forsake 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 falling

I'll see you in a while

[Verse 4]

See the cross-eyed pirates sit 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

[Verse 5]

King Kong, little elves on the rooftops they dance

Valentino-type tangos while the makeup man's hands

Shut the eyes of the dead, not to embarrass anyone

But Farewell, Angelina, the sky's embarrassed

And I must be gone

[Verse 5]

The machine guns are roaring, 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 erupting

I must go where it's quiet
