lyrics

Yikes

I loved you all so much
Could not get myself enough
So I would go against
Common sense

Kept on passing along
Ing that had not been solved
And would not be for
Some time

That's ok, what can you do
As you cover up those blues
Not so easy, not much gain
Feel that pain

There's nothing to fix
Nothing broken or miss
Ing is what you had felt
Now no more

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
It is not the type of game
Where the dice you pick and roll
Have no sides

That's ok, what can you do
As you cover up those blues
Not so easy, not much gain
Feel that pain

Then those times you do pay attention
Here it comes: yikes, yikes, yikes

Run, dodge, hide, shift the narrative
Here it comes: yikes, yikes, yikes

Find a hole, jump in, cover up
Here it comes: yikes, yikes, yikes

Stop, turn, look straight into the eyes
There you are

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
It is not that type of game
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
There you are

Time to lay down
Let it play out
Don't be active
Remain passive

No more soothing
Nor removing
It's not too bad

There you are

about

Brian Shapiro Band image

Brian Shapiro Band Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Shapiro’s storytelling focuses on themes of distorted thinking, the idea of what it means to be normal, and the question of how to accept hard truths we may not be ready to accept. Shapiro has been called a keen observer in his songwriting capacity with a freewheeling creativity that sparkles with skewed humor. With a powerful, yet intimate voice, Shapiro speaks to the hyperbolic times we live in. ... more
