Everybody say, "Shine a light"
Monty Clift is recognized at dawn
New York, New York, 42nd Street
(Uhh, uhh)
From here to eternity}
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
Hustlers rustle and pimp pimp the beat
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
An' everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Go out 'n' get me another roll of pills"
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
I see a car smashed at night
That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
Is he alive?
Alcohol
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
Can he still feel?
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
That Montgomery Clift, honey!
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
Seems as the right profile
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
There I go shaking, but I ain't got the chills
Nembutal, numbs it all
That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
Maybe a misfit
That's Montgomery Clift, honey!
In Red River?
Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
(Say, say, say, say)
An' everybody say, "What's he like?"
Everybody say, "He sure looks funny"
He ain't got no shoes, his clothes are torn
Everybody say, "Is he all right?"
That's the Montgomery Clift, honey!
But I prefer
(New York, New York)
Cut the applause and dim the light
He said, "Go out, get me my old movie stills
An' everybody say, "Is he all right?"
Everybody say, "He's not fine"
Everybody say, "What's he like?"
Monty's face is broken on a wheel
Or a place in the sun?
Argh buh buh argh!
