Fare-well An-gel-in-a

The bells of the crown

Are be-ing stol-en by ban-dits

I must fol-low the sound

The tri-ang-le tin-gles

And the trum-pet play slow

Fare-well An-gel-in-a

The sky is on fire

And I must go.

There's no need for an-ger

There's no need for blame

There's noth-ing to prove

Ev-'ry-thing's still the same

Just a ta-ble stand-ing emp-ty

By the edge of the sea

Fare-well An- gel-in-a

The sky is trem-bling

And I must leave.

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.
