Lyrics for 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
