Point Shirley Lyrics - The Instigator - 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
