Farewell, Angelina - Dänu

Farewell, Angelina

The bells of the crown

Are being stolen by bandits

I must follow the sound

The triangle tingles

And the trumpets play slow

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 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 falling

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 neighobrs 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 rooftops they dance

Valentino-type tangos

While the makeup man’s hands

Shut the eyes of the dead

Not to embarrass anyone

But Farewell, Angelina

The sky’s embarrassed

And I must be gone

The machine guns are roaring

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 erupting

I must go where it’s quiet
