Lyrics:
Farewell, Angelina, the bells of the crown
Have been 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 the Queen have forsaken the courtyard
And 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 folding, I'll see you in a while
See the cross-eyed pirate 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 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 empty, I must go where it's quiet
Call me any name you like, I will never deny it
But farewell, Angelina, the sky is empty, I must go where it's quiet
