Album: Marc Bolan - T. Rex Singles (Part II)

Dandy In The Underworld

Prince of players
Pawn of none
Born with steel reins
In 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 old eighteen
Exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms
Of the mythical Oz
Destruction he wanted
To destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks
The ancient mansions of hell
Now all of his lovers have left him
And his youth's ill spent
He cries in the dungeons
And tries to repent
The change is a monster
And changing is hard
So he'll freeze away his summers
In his underground yard
