Farewell, Angelina lyrics

[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
