I am the maker of dark creations,
Godsend to the pressured,
Pressure coming out.
Been around since you can’t recall.
Just appeared here yesterday.
My smallest is considered tall.
My tallest one is twenty now.

Chorus: I’m every searing jet,
Every slowly cooling drop,
Every speck of spiraled spice
In the milky swirl on top.
I am right across the park from you,
Yet continents away.
I am Starbucks. Starbucks:
Foam away from home.

I have been sighted in ancient castles 
Where stars think I’m off-camera
In shots the careless keep.
Seen newly-wakened workers tired,
Others rise for graveyard days
Kept watch while students waged a hard-won
Battle with time-thieving sleep.

(Chorus)

Somewhere, somehow,
The most perfect cappuccino that you’ve ever found.
In your town, in every town,
You’ll find the cup your name is written on.

I’m every searing jet,
Every slowly cooling drop,
Every speck of spiraled spice
In the milky swirl on top.
I am right across the park from you,
Yet continents away.
I am Starbucks,
Countless Starbucks,
Endless Starbucks:
Foam away from home.
