Chris Stein Describes Shayla as “‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ goes to space”(*Against the Odds 84), as Debbie Harry tells the story of a young woman who quits her job at the factory, longing to escape her menial, capitalistic life. She gets much more than she asked for as an extraterrestrial comes to tak...
Shayla Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history — she's just a number
One day, she gets her final pay
And she goes far away
[Hook]
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa-whoa
[Verse 2]
Green trees call to me
I am free, but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone, trapped by its beauty
[Bridge]
Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space, and down she came
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Suddenly, some subtle entity
Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows
Down here, we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway, bright lights, and thunder
[Outro]
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, a-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa
