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 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 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
