Prompt / Lyrics

"Last call, darlings. You don't have to go home. But you can't stay here. Let me tell you a story. About a girl. About a bar. About all the people who walked through that door thinking they'd leave with something more than a hangover."

[VERSE 1]

I've been pouring whiskey since before you were born.
Seen heroes walk in. Seen heroes get torn apart.
They come for the lights. They come for the show.
They come for the woman they think they know.
They think I'm a prize. They think I'm a game.
I'm the match. I'm the hand that strikes.
I'm the reason you stay. I'm the reason you leave.
You're not the first. You won't be the last.

[HOOK]

Moxxi's last call. The lights go low.
You don't come here to find your way.
You come here to forget the day.
Moxxi's last call. The door swings wide.
You walk in with nothing. You leave with a lie.
But the lie tastes sweet. And tomorrow you'll be back.
That's the norm.

[VERSE 2]

I've seen vault hunters. I've seen kings.
They leave their money. They leave their pride.
They leave a piece of themselves inside.
I don't ask for much. Just your attention.
Just the hunger that you hide.
I see it. I always see it.
It's not me. It's never me.
I'm just the mirror. I'm just the key.

---

[BRIDGE]

"You wanna know the secret? There is no secret. There's just this. The bar. The lights. The people who think they're the first to sit in that stool. They're not. But I listen. Because listening… that's the game. And I'm very good at the game."

[VERSE 3]

I had a husband once. Twice. Maybe more.
They wanted a saint. They wanted a key
To a door that doesn't exist.
Now I just pour whiskey. Now I just know
That love is a word. And words are cheap.
And the only thing that lasts is the drink you keep pouring.
The hunger that never gets killed.

---

[FINAL HOOK]

Moxxi's last call. The glass is dry.
The ones who stay are the ones who lie.
Moxxi's last call. The door swings shut.
You leave with a story. You leave with a cut.
Moxxi's last call. Go home now.
I'll be here tomorrow. I'll be here anyhow.
The lights go out. The lock turns.
Moxxi's last call. Go on. Go your ways.

[OUTRO]

"Last call, darling. Really this time. See you tomorrow."
