Farewell Angelina the bells on the crown Are being stolen by bandits I must follow the sound The triangle tingles
And the music plays slow But farewell Angelina The night is on fire And I must go
There is use in talking And there´s no need for blame There is nothing to prove Everything still is the same A table stands empty By the edge of the stream But farewell Angelina The sky is changing colors And I must leave
The jacks and the queens They foresake the courtyard Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the guard 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
See the crosseyed pirates Sit perched in the sun Shooting tin cans With a sawed off shot gun And the corporals 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
And the roof-tops they dance Valentino-type tangos While the heroes clean hands Shut the eyes of the dead Not to embarass anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is flooding over and I must be gone
[Harmonica break]
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 is flooding over
And I must go where it is dry
Machine guns are roaring The 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 errupting And I must go where it is quiet
