Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the soun d
The triangle tingles, the mu sic plays sl ow
But f arewell Ang elina, the n ight is on fire,
a nd I must go
There is no use in talking and t here's no need for b lame
There is nothing to prove, everything st ill is the same
The table stands empty by the ed ge of the st ream
But fa rewell Ang elina, the sky's chang ing co lors,
and I must l eave
The jacks and the queens they have forsake the court yard
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the g uard
In the space where the duece and the ac e once ran w ild
Fare well An gelina, the sky is fol ding,
I 'll see you after a wh ile
See the cross-eyed pirate si t perched in the s un
Shooting tin cans with a saw ed-off shot gun
And the coporels and the neighbors clap and cheer with each b last
But farewell An gelina, the sky is trem bling,
and I must leave f ast
King Kong little elves in the rooftops they da nce
Valentino-type tangos while the hero 's clean ha nds
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarass an yone
Fare well Angel ina, the sky is flooding over,
a nd I must be g one
The camoflaged parrot, h e flutters from f ear
When something he doesn't know about s uddenly appea rs
What can not be imitated p erfect must die
Fare well Ange lina, the sky's flooding over,
a nd I must go where it is dry
Machine guns are roaring, puppets heave r ocks
At misunderstood visions and at the f aces of clo cks
Call me any name you like, I wi ll never deny it
But farewell A ngelina, the sky is eru pting,
and I must go where it is q uiet
