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 lyricsfreak
