Marc Bolan And T Rex Dandy In The Underworld Lyrics

Dandy In The Underworld Lyrics

A Bolanic revision of Orpheus Descending 

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 

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 
But he`ll freeze away his summers in his 
Underground yard
