Farewell Angelina

LETRA

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, ev'rything'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 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 they 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
