Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown
Being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound
Well the triangles tingle, the trumpets plays slow
Say 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 the table standing empty by the edge of the sea
Say farewell Angelina, the sky's trembling, and I must leave
Well the jack and the queen have forsaken 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 in a while
See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast
But farewell Angelina, the sky is changing colour, and I must leave fast
King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance
Valentino-type tangos while the make-up mans hands
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
Says Farewell Angelina, the sky is embarrassed, and I must be gone
Well machine guns roaring, puppets heave rocks
While the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of clocks
Call me anything you like, I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it's quiet
