WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED? [Intro - close, conversational] I asked one question. That was the problem. [Verse 1] I asked about the bakery how much we had to make current burn, five grand a day how much could the system take The answer wasn’t simple the answer had a door behind it was another room behind that, twenty more Point of sale was broken the reports were full of smoke so I made them count it by hand and fed you what they wrote Names were getting slippery numbers came in bruised everybody had a piece but nobody had the view [Pre-Chorus] One clean thread one module at a time don’t touch the old context don’t muddy up the line One clean thread one day on the screen if the room came in noisy I would bring it back clean [Chorus] What else do you need? I’ll go get it One more count one more file one more half-lit piece of truth What else do you need? I’ll go find it You keep asking for the shape I’ll keep dragging back the proof What else do you need? What else do you need? The question kept opening and the map started moving [Verse 2] Fan hum, blue light emails stacked in lines process notes and product names all changing all the time I was running for the model like an intern with a key go ask another question bring it back and let it breathe No fancy integration no dashboard made of gold just copy, paste, correct it watch the scaffolding unfold It was almost kind of stupid it was almost kind of great the machine was barely ready but it stayed there while I chased [Pre-Chorus] One clean thread one module at a time don’t touch the old context don’t muddy up the line One clean thread one day on the screen if the room came in noisy I would bring it back clean [Chorus] What else do you need? I’ll go get it One more count one more file one more half-lit piece of truth What else do you need? I’ll go find it You keep asking for the shape I’ll keep dragging back the proof What else do you need? What else do you need? The question kept opening and the map started moving [Bridge - pulled back, dry humor] I was scared to leave the thread like it might forget its name waiting on the little wheel like a caveman guarding flame Tell me if this number’s real tell me what this word means tell me if we’re guessing here or if this count is clean It wasn’t clean it wasn’t pretty it was barely version one But the skeleton was standing and the damn thing kind of ran [Final Chorus - bigger, warmer] What else do you need? I’ll go get it One more count one more file one more half-lit piece of truth What else do you need? I’ll go find it You keep asking for the shape I’ll keep dragging back the proof What else do you need? What else do you need? The question kept opening and the map started moving What else do you need? What else do you need? The room was full of noise but the thread stayed clean [Outro - fading] One clean thread one more file One clean thread stay awhile What else do you need? I’ll go get it
