Farewell Angelina

D farewell angelina G the bells of the crown D G are being stolen by bandits i must follow the sound D the triangle tingles G the trumpet plays slow Bm F#m farewell angelina Bm F#m the sky is on fire G D and i must go . there’s no need for anger there’s no need for blame there’s nothing to prove ev’rything’s still the same just a table standing empty by the edge of the sea 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 folding 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 farewell angelina the sky’s changing color and i must leave fast . king kong , little elves on the rooftoops they dance valentino - type tangos while the make - up man’s hands shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone 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 farewell angelina the sky is erupting i must go where it’s quiet .
