Lyrics Dandy In The Underworld - Marc Bolan, T. Rex

Dandy In The Underworld

Prince of Players, pawn of none
Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun
Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights
Exalted companion of cocaine nights
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
At an old eighteen exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms of a mythical Oz
Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks the ancient mansions of Hell
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
Now his lovers have left him
And his youth’s ill-spent
He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent
But change is a monster and changing is hard
So he’ll freeze away his summers in his underground yard
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
Prince of Players, pawn of none
Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun
Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights
Exalted companion of cocaine nights
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
'Cos he’s a Dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Will anybody ever care?
