Le Risque Lyrics – King Gizzard

[Verse 1: Joey Walker]
Feel it, know it
Trust in the lie you’ve been sold
Oh yeah? No risk?
Tell yourself whatever you need to hear
To fall just right
Like a dagger from a height
‘Cause death to me
Is a life lived safely

Gimme something to thin the blood
There’s nothing quite like digging graves for fun

It gets my body ringing like a bell
‘Cause I’m the fu*king recoil of a gun in hell

[Verse 2: Michael Cavanagh]
Ha ha ha ha ha, alright
No heart (No heart)
No tick (No tick)
I’m weak as piss, no risk
No fire (No fire)
No flame (No flame)
I’m always feeling the same
The risk (The risk)
It sits (It sits)
At the tip of my tiny prick
No style (No style)
No ease (No ease)
I’m a pathetic forgotten steaze

Alright
The risk
Let’s ride
The risk
Well, alright
The risk
It’s time

The risk
Okay let’s ride

[Verse 3: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Hello, Evel Knievel
Running through the red light
Philippe Petit, yeah
Walk the tightwire
Take the risk, take the risk
You only live once

[Bridge: Stu Mackenzie]
Where softer souls do sleep
In the hush of morning’s glow
I rest not, I cannot
I just go

[Verse 4: Stu Mackenzie]
The risk, my muse
For its focus I depend
Nosedive into the ocean
Do dangerous s*it and transcend
This world (This world)
It spins too slow
Its tempo paints my world in grey
My heart cannot beat fast enough
The risk is technicolour paint
One life (One life)
One chance (One chance)
Clench the moment in your hand
Adrenaline, my dearest friend
It’s you and me until the end
