Farewell, Angelina

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, 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 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 awhile

See the crosseyed 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

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 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

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
