Under the Montauk Moon
(Aimless and Immortal by the Sea)

A chilly wind comes roarin'
Down a mid-October night
They boarded up the sidewalks
And turned out all the lights
So I Drove right past old Shagwong
Last call at Liars Saloon
Three guys outside lookin' for a fight
Tonight, Under the Montauk Moon

Surfers down at East Deck
Still waiting for a swell
Harleys revvin' East on 27
Like they're headed straight to hell
And the locals hate all the citiots
Who come out in droves by June
The hand that feeds them really feels the bite
Tonight, Under the Montauk Moon

Baby, you're all that I need
Our Love is holding the key
Baby You're all that I want
Aimless and Immortal by the Sea

The Winter's gonna be a cold one
They say the worst is yet to come
People stockin up their pantries, and loadin' up their guns
But Darkness will break and the sun will shine
and not a minute soon
Brother Daniel will be drumming with all this might
Tonight, Under the Montauk Moon

Baby, you're all that I need
Our Love is holding the key
Baby,You're all that I want
Aimless and Immortal by the Sea

Hawaiian Ed sits on a bench looking vacant
He plays his ukulele well
then some wealthy socialite comes by
but it's very hard to tell
If she's really from old money
or if her pedigree
Is just a game she plays for kicks
To get her drinks and dinner free

Main street's cold and empty now
Not a soul around
Just the ghost of Andy Warhol
Acting like he owns the town
And there ain't no twenty-somethings listenin' to
no Memory Motel tune
not a living soul in sight
Tonight, Under the Montauk Moon

Under the Montauk Moon
Under the Montauk Moon
Aimless and Immortal by the Sea
