Dandy In The Underworld Lyrics

(A Bolanic revision of Orpheus Descending)
Marc Bolan- guitar and vocal
Herbie Flowers- bass
Tony Newman- drums
Dino Dines-keyboards and synthesizer
Steve Harley- vocals
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 **
óCos heá´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
* Repeat
Now his lovers have left him
And his youthá´s ill spent
He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent
But change is a monster and changing is hard
But heá´ll freeze away his summers in his
Underground yard
* Repeat
** Repeat
Repeat twice
