Russian Roulette (Live)

[Spoken Intro]

Cliches like this are beautiful

Because they reflect us and we are beautiful (Yay)

Take, for example, the cliche of shouting out a city's name

From the stage, causing everyone to cheer

Like this, Sydney, Sydney

Sydney, Sydney, Sydney, Sydney, Sydney

It only became taboo because it was too powerful

That's why you won't forget it

Don't kill yourself, you idiot

[Intro: Porter Robinson]

Let's go

[Verse 1: Porter Robinson]

It's me, smiling for the team

As I stare directly into the storm, oh

Trust me, it's a sure thing

Russian Roulette, you won't get bored, hey

Best friend, we don't have to pretend one day

I could make you your salary, oh

The saddest thing about my whole machine

She says, and she's right, "It depends on me," let's go

[Chorus: Porter Robinson]

Then I close my eyes

Gamble with my life

Trying not to smile

Maybe this time I won't be alright

Maybe this time, let's go

[Verse 2: Porter Robinson]

Pitchfork reports

They're calling me, their words, "The big new thing," oh

YouTube review, funny monkey

Takes a piss into his own mouth, crazy

And I thought (My best lyric), it's strange to sell my face

But let's just make the most of it

Now my hand is drawn

I put the gun against the thing that's stopping me, let's go

[Chorus: Porter Robinson]

Then I close my eyes

Gamble with my life

Trying not to smile

Maybe this time I won't be alright

Maybe this time

[Bridge: Porter Robinson]

A bad guy just died

They're making memes about it

Nothing matters now

Go fuck myself? I already did

My friend lost his head

And what'd I do about it?

And we could laugh about the thoughts that I've been having

[Chorus: Margot Liotta]

Then I close my eyes

Gamble with my life

Trying not to smile

Maybe this time I won't be alright

Maybe this time

[Verse 3: Porter Robinson]

I wanna see my mom one more time

I wanna play my songs one more time

I wanna lose my phone one more time

I wanna play a Sydney show one more time

I wanna kiss my cat one more time

I wanna thank my dad one more time

I wanna marry her one more time

I wanna live, I don't wanna die

I wanna try to change one more time

I wanna live, I don't wanna die

I wanna live, I don't wanna die

I wanna
