Farewell Angelina - Jeff Buckley
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 Ev'rything's still the same Just a table standing empty By the edge of the sea Farewell Angelina The sky is trembling And I must leave The jacks and the 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 rooftops they dance Valentino, type tango's 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
