Farewell, Angelina

Lyrics

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
 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 queen
 Have forsaked the courtyard
 52 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
 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
 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 erupting
 I must go where it's quiet
