Essence Lyrics
The universe is female
Eluding the science of men
You sway and you swagger
And your neat little dagger
You're gonna blow it again
Prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
Lust and law take the masculine
Ambition and war take the boys
I pin the tail on the alpha male
A little man making big noise
Prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
It's not the engine or chassis
It's not the weapon or length
Your war dance I guess got this place in this mess
But there's something that's stronger than strength
Prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
A metaphor is a goddess
A king that's fit for a queen
The opposite side of that armored old hide
I hope you know what I mean
Oh yeah
Eluding the science of men
You sway and you swagger
And your neat little dagger
You're gonna blow it again
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
Ambition and war take the boys
I pin the tail on the alpha male
A little man making big noise
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
It's not the weapon or length
Your war dance I guess got this place in this mess
But there's something that's stronger than strength
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones
A king that's fit for a queen
The opposite side of that armored old hide
I hope you know what I mean
Oh yeah

Just listened to this song tonight for the first time in a while. I love Kilbey's feminist bent in this song and I love how he makes fun of men's sexual equipment, violence, etc. BTW- I'm male and I don't think everything male is bad, just that as a gender we certainly are not above reproach.
