## Lyrics

**Hugo**:

Who does he think he is?

Some storied hero come from far away

There are no heroes here

Just folks dying to live another day

**Varian**:

What is his true intention?

What game is he playing?

I hate to admit it

But he's right, we need someone to lead the way

**Varian & Hugo**:

How much longer must I hold in my urge to pick a fight?

How much time before I get his smug face out of my sight?

I'll keep the cards close to my chest

I have the upper hand, does he know?

**Varian**:

I hid my past

**Hugo**:

I passed his test

**Varian & Hugo**:

So here we go

**Hugo**:

I'll play the helpful host

**Varian**:

I'll let him think he's in control

**Varian & Hugo**:

I'll keep my secrets close

Oh, but I'm keeping him closer

**Varian**:

Who does he think he is?

A self-assured, arrogant charmer

He'll never have me fooled

I'll thicken up my armour

**Hugo**:

He's got me seething 'cause

Despite the role he's playing

He is nothing special

Just some kid of a random farmer

**Varian & Hugo**:

How much longer must I spend each moment on the attack?

How much time before I get his prying eyes off my back?

I'll keep the cards close to my chest

I have the upper hand, can he tell?

**Hugo**:

It's ride or die

**Varian**:

The die is cast

**Varian & Hugo**:

So give him hell

**Hugo**:

I'll play the helpful host

**Varian**:

I'll wait till his surface starts to crack

**Varian & Hugo**:

I'll keep my secrets close

**Varian**:

Oh, but I'm keeping him closer

**Hugo**:

But doesn't he remind you of someone?

All bright-eyed and eager to learn

**Varian**:

Doesn't he remind you of someone?

He keeps watch over his shoulder at every turn

**Hugo**:

Keep watch over your shoulder at every turn

**Varian & Hugo**:

I'll keep the cards close to my chest

I have the upper hand, set to win

**Hugo**:

I'll best the odds

**Varian**:

I'll do my best

**Varian & Hugo**:

So let's begin

**Hugo**:

I'll be his helpful host

**Varian**:

I'll wait my turn and call his bluff

**Varian & Hugo**:

I'll keep my secrets close

Oh, but I'm keeping him closer

Oh, oh, oh

### Reprise

**Varian**:

Who does he think he is?

A sudden, unforeseen disarmer

How did this come to be?

He's wearing down my armour

**Hugo**:

What does he see in me?

And what choice am I making?

Give him the cold shoulder?

Or am I in search of something warmer?

**Varian & Hugo**:

How much longer must I

Wonder if our fates are entwined?

How much time before I

Get his dumb face out of my mind?

I've kept the cards close to my chest

He has the upper hand. can he see?

**Hugo**:

We've had our fill

**Varian**:

Fulfilled the quest

**Varian & Hugo**:

Now where are we?

**Hugo**:

I played the helpful host

**Varian**:

I took my chance and showed my hand

**Varian & Hugo**:

Yes, I have kept him close

Oh, but I wish he was closer

Oh, I wish you were closer
