NO MORE DANDIES IN THE UNDERWORLD

written by K. Bluetner, produced at the Wanhua Village Recorder

you’re gone - how can I have a nice day
this song - is full of pain and decay
lights out - the sidewalk sleeps in the rain
how am I supposed to breathe?
how am I supposed to get on up?
no more dandies in the underworld

last night - I heard the sound of a drum
they’ll fight - they need the booze and the rum
I’m out - this is not mine any more
how am I supposed to gamble
how am I supposed to carry on
no more dandies in the underworld

no more spies and no more casanovas
no more leaflets scattered in the rain
we all miss the champagne supernovas
nothing’s running in our brains

how am I supposed to breathe?
how am I supposed to get on up?
no more dandies in the underworld

no more smokescreens in the parler
no detectives, no cigars
no more mirrors on the ceiling
no more gatherings of stars

no more spies and no more casanovas
no more leaflets scattered in the rain
bring us back the champagne supernovas
and the cocaine for our brains

no more dandies in the underworld
