Artist: marc bolan
Song: dandy in the underworld
Album:
Hot air hangs like a dead man
From a white oak tree
People sitting on porches
Thinking how things used to be
Dark night, it's a dark night
Dark night, it's a dark night
The neighborhood was changing
Strangers moving in
A new boy fell for a local girl
When she made eyes at him
She was young and pretty
No stranger to other men
Open doors were being locked at night
And old lines drawn again
I thought these things
Didn't matter anymore
I thought all that blood
Had been shed long ago
Dark night, it's a dark night
He took her to the outskirts
And pledged his love to her
They thought it was their secret
But someone knew where they were
He held her so close
He asked about her dreams
When a bullet from a passing car
Made the young girl scream
I thought these things
Didn't happen anymore
I thought all that blood
Had been shed long ago
Dark night, it's a dark night
Dark night, it's a dark night
