Farewell, Angelina Lyrics

Farewell, Angelina,
the bells of the crown
Have been stolen by bandits,
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles and the trumpets play slow
But 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 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 forsaken the courtyard
And 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 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 shotgunDanu - Farewell, Angelina - http://motolyrics.com/danu/farewell-angelina-lyrics.html
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 the 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 empty, I must go where it's quiet

Call me any name you like,
I will never deny it
But farewell, Angelina,
the sky is empty, I must go where it's quiet
