[Intro – smoky bar piano fades into 80 BPM bar trance, cards shuffling] "Husk's Bar. What'll it be? ...Yeah, I heard ya the first time." [Verse 1] I used to be a name, an Overlord with pride, 'Til I gambled my soul and lost it on the side, Now I pour the drinks at the Hazbin Hotel, Serving sinners their stories, serving heaven's hell! The house always wins — that's what I say, But the house took everything I had that day, Alastor holds my leash, my soul, my fate, So I drink, and I deal, and I serve, and I wait! [Chorus] HUSK! (husk! husk!) Down on his luck! (luck! luck!) A gambler, a drinker, a bartender too, With nothing left to lose but you! HUSK! [Verse 2] I've heard every story that this bar can hold, From the young and the reckless to the grey and old, They come for the whiskey, they stay for the talk, Then they stumble back out for another walk! I tell 'em straight, no sugar, no lies, I've seen too much to be surprised, Life's a gamble, love's a bet, And I ain't won nothing yet! [Chorus 2] HUSK! (husk! husk!) Stuck in the muck! (muck! muck!) Pouring drinks for demons in the dead of night, Trying to make the wrongs feel right! HUSK! [Verse 3] I play the cards that I am dealt, Even when the deck's against me felt, Aces high and deuces low, That's the only life I know! But every hand I've ever played, Every bet I've ever made, Led me here, behind this bar, Not quite healed, but not quite scarred! [Bridge] "People think I don't care... that I'm just the grump with the drink... But there's this spider... this loud, ridiculous spider... And damn it all... he got under my skin..." [Verse 4] Then came Angel, loud and bright, A spider dancing in the night, He called me "whiskers," made me grin, And somehow... he got under my skin! "Loser, baby," that's our tune, Two broken souls beneath the moon, He's a mess, I'm a wreck, that's true, But I'd burn Hell down for you-know-who! [Verse 5] But seasons change and spiders roam, And Angel's flying far from home, He left the Hotel, left the bar, Chasing hope like a distant star! So here's my toast with one last pour, To the spider walking out my door, Husk will keep your stool, my friend, 'Til our stories meet again! [Final Chorus] HUSK! (husk! husk!) Love's a must! (must! must!) For Angel Dust, who had to fly — The cat just waves his soft goodbye! HUSK! (husk! husk!) Empty cup! (cup! cup!) The bar feels colder than before, Since my spider walked out the door! [Outro] "...miss ya, kid. Come back thirsty."
