How to Get a Head - The Residents

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
