Jeff Buckley - Farewell Angelina lyrics

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 embarra** anyone Farewell Angelina The sky is embarra**ed 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
