How to Get a Head

The Residents

Compositor: The Residents

There were guys watching my body
There were guys watching my breasts
There were guys watching my body
I was excited and 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
It's a head! without a body
I didn't know what to expect

The neckless head is always falling
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
