Lyrics How to Get a Head - The Residents

How to Get a Head

There were guys watching my body
There were guys watching my breasts
There were guys watching my body
I was excited, losing my breath
Why did I listen to mama?
Why did I listen to her?
Why did I listen to mama?
A head was only a word
Why do I look like a woman?
Why do I feel like a girl?
Why do I look like a woman?
I think about how his hair curled
It’s a head without a body
It’s a head without a neck, oh
It’s a head without a body
I didn’t know what to expect
The neckless head is always falling
And every time I close my eyes
And think about his empty eyeballs
Strangely staring at the sky
Unoccupied by life but calling
To the tears they cannot cry
