Briskeby is an electro-pop band from Larvik, Norway. The lead vocalist Lise Karlsnes is from Tønsberg. The other members of the band are Bård Helgland (bass) Bjørn Bergene (guitar) and Claus Larsen (drums).
According to one of the band members, one day Lise arrived and asked to join the then instrumental band. At first they were very unsure, but it soon turned out that her vocals matched their sound perfectly.
The band's name is derived from the neighborhood where their rehearsal room was located.

Verse 1: GD Into the night on heels I stumble EmC Like a star about to shoot GD Catch me down the avenue like EmC A dandylion parachute
GD Release the hounds, chase my tail and EmC Treat me like renegade GD I'm as patient as a chain-reaction EmC But I am not afraid
Chorus: G We're gonna leave all the troubles behind by the turnpike D Going away, you know what it feels like EmC I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
G The rocks in my shoes won’t dig into my feet D Free of the promises that I can’t keep EmC I'll never let you go, Joe Dallesandro
Post chorus 1: Em No matter what you say DC I can't shake off this fling
Verse 2: GD Into the night I paint the city EmC In the colour of my eyeshade GD Walking with a papertiger EmC I am not afraid
