The Right Profile

Lyrics for The Right Profile

Say, where did I see this guy? (Say, say, say, say) In "Red River" or "A Place In The Sun" Maybe "The Misfits", "From Here To Eternity"? Everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "What's he like?" And everybody say, "Sure he looks funny" That's Montgomery Clift, honey (New York, New York) New York, New York, 42nd Street Hustlers rustle and pimp pimp the beat Monty Clift is recognized at dawn He ain't got no shoes, his clothes are torn And everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "What's he like?" Everybody say, "Sure looks funny" That's just Montgomery Clift, honey I see a car smashed at night Cut the applause and dim the light Monty's face is broken on a wheel Is he alive, can he still feel? And everybody say, "Is he all right?" Everybody say, "Shine a light" Everybody say, "It's not funny" That Montgomery Clift, honey Shoot his right profile And everybody say, "Is he all right?" Everybody say, "What's he like?" Everybody say, "He sure looks funny" That's Montgomery Clift, honey Nembutal, numbs it all But I prefer Alcohol And everybody say, "What's he like?" And everybody say, "Is he all right?" Everybody say, "He sure looks funny" That's Montgomery Clift, honey He said, "Go out, get me my old movie stills" "Go out and get me another roll of pills" There I go shaking, but I ain't got the chills Ahh, buh buh, ahh! And everybody say, "What's he like?" Everybody say, "Is he all right?" Everybody say, "He sure looks funny" I was trapped, Montgomery Clift, honey
