Dandy In The Underworld
T. Rex · Very Best [2000]
Prince of players
pawn of none
Born with steel reigns
On the heart of the sun
Gypsey Explorer
Of the New Jersey heights
Exalted Companion
Of T.Rex (cocaine) nights
(chorus)
Cause he's a dandy in the underworld, dandy in the underworld
when will he come up for air?
When will he come up for air? OH!
Will anybody ever care?
At an old eighteen
Exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms
of a mythical oz
Destruction he wanted
To destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks the ancient mansions of hell
(chorus)
(solo)
(chorus)
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 change is hard
So he'll freeze away his summers
In his underground yard
(chorus)
