"Dandy In The Underworld" lyrics - MARC BOLAN

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

'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?

At an old 18 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

'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?

Shala and shooby do
Shala and shooby do
Shala and shooby do, ahh
Shala and shooby do
Shala and shooby do
Shala and shooby do, ahh

'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?

Now all 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

'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, 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

'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?
'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?
'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?
'Cause he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air?
Oh, will anybody ever care?
