Lyrics

It's not you, it's me    
No need to take things so seriously  
Why be weighed down with science
With evidence  
Let's just float away 
On common sense   

No it's not you, it's me   
Nothing to see here
Just keep living the dream
You sell that vaporware, honey  
Oh you're such a tease
The perfect seduction
Holy singularity!

There must be a way  
There must be a way
To cross the great divide between us   
Hey hey hey   

Now I'm giving you what you want   
It's a simple enough lament
Nothing controversial
Nothing too clever
Just a man in love
Giving you what you want

It's not you, it's me
Choosing the red pill
Old Cassie's legacy
You know what the curse is, don't you   
Oh don't be naive
This is all borrowed time
Are we smarter than yeast?
It might be too late 
It's probably too late
To cross the great divide that seals our fa - a - ate  

Still I'm giving you what you want
It's a tune you can hum to work
Make yourself comfortable
Business as usual
Just a man resigned
To giving you what you want

But it's you and it's me 
Dear sweet listener
In this hellish quandary
Stuck in the blink of a
Geological eye
Oh what to salvage
And who to sacrifice
There must be a way
There must be a way
To muddle on in cheerful despara - a - a - tion

Yeah, I'm giving you what you want
Which is to be entertained
Tick the right boxes
Lick the right arses
Just a man on fire
Giving you what you want

Just the man
Giving you what you want

He's giving you what you want
Got any last requests?
'Every breath you take'?
'It's too late'?
Just the man 'n' the moon
Giving you what you want
Giving you what you want
Giving you what you want
