Point Shirley - Rhett Miller

My friend is trapped in a shame spiral

I’m worried about my friend’s survival

Waiting around on the sea to collapse

Sticking his foot in his own traps

There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home

Point Shirley or not to be

You’ve got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be

My friend is trapped in a hostile world

The rutted sea is an angry girl

Who calls you up just to hear you cry

My friend’s been there and so have I

There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home

Point Shirley or not to be

You’ve got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be

Point Shirley or not to be

You’ve got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be

My friend is sleeping on a six-foot wave

There’s too many of them to save

I’m going to wait around for the sea to get full

My friend’s given in to the downward pull

Point Shirley or not to be

You’ve got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be

Point Shirley or not to be

You’ve got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be

Point Shirley or not to be

You’ve got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
