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.
Theres no need for anger,
theres no need for blame,
Theres nothing to prove,
evrythings still the same.
Just a table standing empty
by the edge of the see
Means farewell Angelina,
the sky is trembling,
and I must leave.
The Jacks and the Queens
have forsaked the courtyard
52 Gypsies now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
and the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina,
the sky is folding,
Ill see you in a while.
See the crosseyed 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
Farewell Angelina,
the sky is changing color,
and I must leave fast.
King Kong little elves
on the roof tops they dance
Valentine-type tangos
while the make-up mans hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
not to embarass anyone
Farewell Angelina,
the sky is embarassed,
and I must be gone.
The machine guns are roaring,
the puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
to the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like,
I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina,
the sky is erupting,
I must go where its quiet.
