Farewell Angelina the bells on the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles And the music plays slow But farewell Angelina The night is on fire And I must go There is use in talking And there's no need for blame There is nothing to prove Everything still is the same A table stands empty By the edge of the stream But farewell Angelina The sky is changing colors And I must leave The jacks and the queens They foresake the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies Now file past the guard In the space where the deuce And the ace once ran wild Farewell Angelina The sky is folding I'll see you after a while See the crosseyed pirates Sit perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed off shot gun And the corporals and the neighbors Clap and cheer with each blast But farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave fast King Kong, little elves And the roof-tops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the heroes clean hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is flooding over and I must be gone [Harmonica break] The camoflaged parrot He flutters from fear When something he doesn't know about Suddenly appears What cannot be imitated Perfect must die Farewell Angelina The sky is flooding over And I must go where it is dry Machine guns are roaring The puppets heave rocks At misunderstood visions And at the faces of clocks Call me any name you like I will never deny it But farewell Angelina The sky is errupting And I must go where it is quiet
