Essence (Demo)

Album Version

Demo Version

The universe is female
Eluding the science of men
Sway and you swagger and your mean little dagger
You're gonna blow it again

It's not a quote from the Bible
It's not a chimp at the zoo
It's not the hand of your rival
It's not the arrival you knew

Prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones

I'll prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence to 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

It's not the size of the Corvair
It's not the way that you die
It's not the day that you knealt and prayed
But anybody could try

Prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones

I'll prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence to 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

It's not the buildings and railroads
It's not the harvest of corn
It's not the chassis or engine
You were manic when you were born
Oh yeah, oh yeah
