Songtexte Farewell, Angelina - The Seldom Scene

Farewell, Angelina, the bells of the crown
Been stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound
Well, the triangle tingles, and the trumpets play slow
Say 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

Well, the jack and the queen, have forsake the courtyard
52 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 in a while

See the cross-eyed pirates sittin' perched in the sun
Shootin' tin cans with a sawed off shot gun
And the neighbors, they clap, and they cheer with each blast
And farewell, Angelina, the sky's changing colors, and I must leave fast

King Kong, little elves on the rooftop, they dance
Valentino-type tangos while the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes to the dead, not to embarrass anyone
But 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 anything you like, I will never deny
Farewell, Angelina, the sky is erupting, I must go where it's quiet
