Dandy In The Underworld - Marc Bolan, T. Rex

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

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?
