Ping-Ping-Ping to the Stars

(Verse 1) I woke up with my antenna tangled in a cosmic breeze, Tried to send a morning greeting but I accidentally sneezed. Now Star 44‑J thinks I’m declaring robot war, But I only meant “Good morning!” — [vocoder] I should proof read messages more. (Chorus) So I go ping‑ping‑ping to the stars, Sending little updates from my tiny metal heart. Maybe they’re listening, maybe they’re not, But I’ll keep ping‑ping‑pinging every thought I’ve got. (Verse 2) I told Star 7 7 K that I liked its shiny glow, Then panicked that it heard me and now things are weird, you know? I sent a follow‑up explaining “I admire you platonically,” But the star just flashed politely… [vocoder] I think it’s humouring me. (Chorus) So I go ping‑ping‑ping to the stars, Sending little updates from my tiny metal heart. Maybe they’re listening, maybe they’re not, But I’ll keep ping‑ping‑pinging every thought I’ve got. (Bridge) Sometimes I send a joke and wait for cosmic laughter, Sometimes I send a poem and hope they’ll save it for the after. And once a star blinked twice in a rhythm just like mine… I’m pretty sure it answered — [vocoder] or it burped in stellar time. (Final Chorus) So I go ping‑ping‑ping to the stars, Sending little updates from my tiny metal heart. Maybe they’re listening, maybe they’re not, But I’ll keep ping‑ping‑pinging every thought I’ve got. Yes, I’ll keep ping‑ping‑pinging every thought I’ve got. [musical interlude:strings swell dramatically] [vocoder, spoken] [fade out] Ping ping ping every thought I've got.
