At the coffee shop right round the corner from here

They’ve hired an ex-NASA space engineer

I’m sure he is qualified, capable, too

But I’m not sure I’m ready to try out his brew

Yes, I stop in each day to order a cup

And my hope is to boost my energy up

But he’s counting down quietly as he moves ‘cross the floor

And I’m fighting the urge to run straight out the door

As I order I hope it’s not plain on my face

That I’m scared I’ll be blasted off to outer space
