Galactic Tea Break

(Verse 1) Woke up in a sunbeam on the edge of Sector Nine, Pressed a little button marked “Do Not Press This Time.” Now every blinking star is sending memos just to me— Apparently I’m running this whole galaxy. (Pre‑Chorus) I tried to tell them I’m just here to fix the fuse, But they handed me a sceptre and a stack of overdue reviews… (Chorus) So I’m calling a galactic tea break, Everybody pause the cosmic ballet. Planets spin a little slower for me, While I figure out the forms for reality. Oh, it’s a galactic tea break— Put the universe on hold for a day. If existence has a glitch, that’s okay— We’ll reboot it after tea. (Verse 2) A comet asked politely if it’s legal to be fast, A nebula complained its colour scheme was “much too vast.” A black hole filed a grievance that it’s lonely at its post— I said, “I’ll get right on it,” though I’m not sure who to host. (Pre‑Chorus) I shuffled all the paperwork in zero‑gravity, And stapled half the cosmos accidentally… (Chorus) So I’m calling a galactic tea break, Everybody pause the cosmic ballet. Planets spin a little slower for me, While I figure out the forms for reality. Oh, it’s a galactic tea break— Put the universe on hold for a day. If existence has a glitch, that’s okay— We’ll reboot it after tea. (Bridge) [Vocoder voice: spoken] “Attention: The universe is temporarily out of order. Please enjoy complimentary biscuits.” [musical interlude:Strings swell dramatically] (Final Chorus) Everything’s absurd but wonderfully so— And the stars all hum along in stereo…
