Farewell Angelina Lyrics - Singles - John Mellencamp

Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown 

Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound 

The triangle tingles, the music plays slow 

But farewell Angelina, the night is on fire, and I must go 

There is no use in talking and there's no need for blame 

There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same 

The table stands empty by the edge of the stream 

But farewell Angelina, the sky's changing colors, and I must leave 

The jacks and the queens they have forsake the courtyard 

Fifty-two 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 after a while

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun 

Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun 

And the corporals and the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast 

But farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave fast 

King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance 

Valentino-type tangos while the hero's clean hands 

Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone 

Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over, and I must be gone 

The camouflaged parrot, he flutters from fear 

When something he doesn't know about suddenly appears 

What can not be imitated perfect must die 

Farewell Angelina, the sky's flooding over, and I must go where it is dry

Machine guns are roaring, puppets heave rocks 

At misunderstood visions and at the faces of clocks 

Call me any name you like, I will never deny it 

But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it's quiet
