Dandy in the Underworld

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? [Scat-singing Bridge] [Chorus] 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? [Verse 3] 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 So he'll freeze away his summers in his underground yard [Chorus] 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care? 'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld Dandy in the underworld When will he come up for air? Oh, will anybody ever care?
