Tom Wilson - Farewell, Angelina lyrics

[Verse 1] Farewell Angelina The bells of the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles The music play slow But farewell Angelina The night is on fire And I must go [Verse 2] There is no use in talking And there's no need for blame There is nothing to prove Ev'rything still is the same A table stands empty By the edge of the stream But farewell Angelina The sky's changing colours And I must leave [Verse 3] The jacks and the queens They forsake 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 after a while [Verse 4] See the cross-eyed pirates sitting Perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed-off shotgun And the corporals and neighbors Clap and cheer with each blast Farewell Angelina The sky it is trembling And I must leave fast [Verse 5] King Kong, little elves In the rooftoops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the hero's clean hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarra** anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is flooding over And I must be gone [Verse 6] The camouflaged parrot He flutters from fear When something he doesn't know about Suddenly appears What cannot be imitated Perfect must die Farewell Angelina The sky's flooding over And I must go where it is dry [Verse 7] 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's quiet
