Farewell Angelina

Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown           Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound          The triangle tingles, the music plays slow          But farewell Angelina, the night is on fire, and I must go             There is no use in talking and there's no need for blame            There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same           The table stands empty by the edge of the stream        But farewell Angelina, the sky's changing colors, and I must leave           The jacks and the queens they have forsake the courtyard            Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard           In the space where the duece and the ace once ran wild         Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I'll see you after a while            See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun              Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun            And the coporels and the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast        But farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave fast            King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance             Valentino-type tangos while the hero's clean hands            Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarass anyone        Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over, and I must be gone            The camoflaged parrot, he flutters from fear             When something he doesn't know about suddenly appears             What can not be imitated perfect must die         Farewell Angelina, the sky's flooding over, and I must go where it is dry           Machine guns are roaring, puppets heave rocks            At misunderstood visions and at the faces of clocks            Call me any name you like, I will never deny it          But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it is quiet
