Williams, Lucinda - Essence Lyrics
Baby, sweet baby, you're my drug
Come on and let me taste your stuff
Baby, sweet baby, bring me your gift
What surprise you gonna hit me with
I am waiting here for more
I am waiting by your door
I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car
I am waiting at this bar
I am waiting for your essence
Baby, sweet baby, whisper my name
Shoot your love into my vein
Make me wonder who's in charge
I am waiting here for more
I am waiting by your door
I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car
I am waiting at this bar
I am waiting for your essence
Baby, sweet baby, I wanna feel your breath
Even though you like to flirt with death
Baby, sweet baby, can't get enough
Please come find me and help me get fucked up
I am waiting here for more
I am waiting by your door
I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car
I am waiting at this bar
I am waiting for your essence
I am waiting for your essence

🎶🎶🎶😍🎶😍😍😍🎶😍🎶😍💕💕💕💜
Now, I want to get laid AND high
Lucinda Williams. Simply the best.
Aural sex. In case of Lucinda, break glass!
This song is all the more powerful when it is realized that many people who like this song don't even seem to see that this is not a love song or a song in praise of sexual lust. It is a song about the nature of addiction and how sexual lust/addiction does the same thing to a person that drug addiction does: it turns them into a non-conscious, no-dignity, masochistic play-thing of a brute force that will lay them to waste; and in cool culture this sickness in fantasized into something cool. Lucinda Williams is far too perceptive and conscious to not be delivering this song with deadly irony. And the very fact that the song is often taken in the wrong way just shows how talented Lucinda Williams is. She sticks the desire and the addiction right in your face with no frills or dilution. This is the kind of song that Lou Reed wished he could have composed. And Bob Dylan has nothing on this woman.
And if you want to hear Lucinda's positive sequel response to this song then listen to Cold Day in Hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ujva6GtTuI
GREAT ANTI NEEDLE SHIT .
Bella musica👍
I love the way she uses the drug deal as a metaphor for sexual longing. This has to be one of the most brilliant songs ever written about desire.
Such an underrated artist ♡

I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car

Muy muy bueno
No one hotter than Lucinda. nothing hotter than this song
Love me some lucinda
Sultry as it Gets!!! F’n Guitar behind that sexy voice,, Wow! Love the guy’s high harmony vocal too. 😊❤️✌️
I really love this song!
Oh god YES!!!!
what was censored ?
"Please come find me and help me get fucked up"
I heard her play this song last October at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF and it blew me away. It's now one of my favorite songs
Manna from Heaven....
Why isn't this gal on the radio?
Michael Bacon ....a good station to check out for all music genres...and the best songs that arent played mainstream is WMMT 88.7 WHITESBURG KY...YOU HAVE TO REALLY PLAY IT TO APPRECIATE IT..FULL OF SURPRISES...
Try changing the station
Try streaming stations like xpn.org (Philly) and wfuv.org (NYC) to find artists like Lucinda and others. I've found loads of great music thanks to stations like this. wtmd.org out of Towson, MD is another good one. These are ones I know of, but I'm sure there's more across the country doing the same thing and keeping real good music alive and well.
On a few stations and on some Boston college radio. But I gave up on radio ..
Siriusxm channel 60 plays her in heavy rotation..
imagine her teaming up with bruce....unbelievable
You can say that again, lol
Freaking awesome.
so now i hear it. this songs about drug addiction.either way i love it
For her...Love is the drug....
the drug reference is a metaphor for obsessive attraction. a common theme in ms. williams' songs. she visits it often; and well.
Love is her choice of addiction... Not drugs as in what people think...
love this band especially the guitarists...and this song fahgeddaboudit ... dirty girl!
another great album!
The god in me and the beast in me
And all deep things come up to light;
And I would barter my soul to be
The prize of love for a single night....
Always satisfies my soul.
wow just wow... amazing song and her voice personifies the essense of what addiction sounds and feels like... makes me wanna scratch my arm
But don't.
Absofuckinlutely
I've already Been skratchin'! 😏😎
Yes it does. You still with us?
Totally sensuous, sexy, and addicting. WOW.
I agree... My ex brought me here.
This woman is extraordinary. She's never written a bad song. Pure genius!
I don't want to sleep with anyone who does not find this hot
agreed.
Me either
Yes yes yes
What music and longing should be like. Just that guitar deserves an 'R' rating. ;)
she has the most sexual voice.....awesome song...the best I've heard
Great, gritty song. I love Lucinda's voice and her poetic lyrics.
Shoot your love in- to my vein...
Desperately HOT! Desire of Essence! This is a great version of this song-clear shot of her voice!
Lucinda is an awesome artist, been listening for years!
This music is not for everyone. Just me and the most astute music lovers on our planet.
You have a high opinion of your opinion. Music taste is a very personal thing. She is not a James Brown but who is. See how that works. Some people prefer Justin Bieber, not my taste but it is all about preference. She fucks up Gram Parsons songs.
@stephen hancock read the original post again. Edit where necessary.
robert donaldson I read and still she says only astute lovers of music. This women is not a music great, only fair and kind of sad.
She's the real deal. We who are music snobs get it. The rest of you can dial up ga/fl line.
+stephen hancock Go back to sleep little fella
canned poo ...the best kind
I heard this on a car trip across the country the year it came out. The station on the radio went out just as the song was ending so I didn't get to hear who it was. I couldn't find out until a few months later. I had been a fan of Lucinda before that CD came out so I don't know why I didn't recognize her voice at the time,
