Lyrics:
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
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 jacks and queens have forsaked the courtyard
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 changing color, i'll see you in a while
see the cross-eyed 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
but farewell, angelina, the sky's changing color and i must leave fast
king kong, little elves on the rooftops 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, 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
but farewell, angelina, the sky is erupting, i must go where it's quiet
