Screaming Females - Empty Head Lyrics






You went and put salt in my drink
Now I'm cross, you've got nothing to say
You give me the gun and I think
I'm a mess and I need you to stay

Why must I be the angry one?
I won't cry, a fine line between our love
I can't speak but you ask, what have I done?

Set aside from this ring system
Cover me in dust
Where magic lies with a fool's wisdom
Just below the crust
I fashion you to lay your soul
A mystic death was said
To bring the songs of cherubim
Into your empty head

And if our rapport is so sour
You're a big bank and IOU
I'll take your silence as a sign
You're a big shot, but who needs who?

Why must I be the angry one?
I won't cry, a fine line between our love
I can't speak but you ask, what have I done?

Set aside from this ring system
Cover me in dust
Where magic lies with a fool's wisdom
Just below the crust
I fashion you to lay your soul
A mystic death was said
To bring the songs of cherubim
Into your empty head

Set aside from this ring system
Cover me in dust
Where magic lies with a fool's wisdom
Just below the crust
I fashion you to lay your soul
A mystic death was said
To bring the songs of cherubim
Into your empty head

    Mark Tremonti guitarist of the decade...my ass.

  3. T.... ....

    I could understand how some people might not like her voice, because it's so idiosyncratic, but I love it - it resonates in my head.

  4. E.... H....

    Damnit I think She is Cool Hand Luke

  5. E.... H....

    If Jimi Hendrix were alive today, he would say "this is the new me"

  6. T.... M....

    This is one of the best bands out there right now and Marissa is the greatest guitarist/songwriter alive

    punk was reborn as her

  7. D.... d....

    She is soooo amazing *w*

  8. J.... R....

    I'm 42, and I love their music since the first time I heard them

  9. M.... N....

  11. E.... H....

    Goshdagnabit wanna dance like Molly Ringwald🐿️🐧🐊🐥

  12. T.... M....

    Shit!!!! That was some solo guitar playing Marissa. 👩🎤🎸♥️🤘

  13. E.... H....

    When I see and hear this I often think of one of my fallen musical icons, Jerome Geils,and how he believed that rock was dead; by chance even in death he should recant that statement because this jam has got me pissing my pants

  14. W.... ....

    WTF!!!! It's 2019 & I've only just discovered this absolutely amazing wonderful band. Brilliant. I love em!

  15. D.... C....

    tight af band....but where's the song? i can't tell the verse from chorus
    it's like a run-on sentence in the form of a mack truck. cool. just not for me i guess.

  19. A.... S....

    Blows the studio version out of the water. By the time the second verse rolls around, Marissa is just on fire.

    A.... S....

  20. G.... G....

    Had they turned up in New York mid 70's, they would ve been as well known as any CBGB's band

  23. Z.... R....

    Marissa is splendid.

  24. D.... ....

    I love how she doesn't care about making the faces she needs to make to get that energy out!! I think it's kinda rare to see the artists express themselves like this, at least for me. You make any face you have to in order to get the results you want haha Love this song!!!

  26. N.... ....

    This should be the most famous band around right now.

    S.... N....

    Them & Skating Polly.

  37. G.... L....

    God I need to see this band live. I typically don't even like this genre, but since hearing them a couple years ago, I can't get over how talented and amazing this band is. Marissa's voice in this live performance is absolutely haunting and I prefer it over the album version.

  38. a.... n....

    this band deserves to be big !

  39. J.... C....

    This remains one of my favorite Scremales tunes. Hands down the best

    J.... C....

    Jess Conrad I much prefer that band name to the current one

  40. O.... D....

    muy muy grandes

  41. C.... A....

    I *need* to see these guys live! Got to find out if they're coming to the ATX for SXSW or something.

    C.... A....

    They are in TX right now. Check their website.

  42. j.... l....

    This Song Makes Me An Empty Head.

  43. d.... ....

  44. R.... M....

  45. M.... B....

    Such a good performance

  46. E.... C....

    i like it!

  47. A.... ....

    would be cool if she covered suburban lawns

    A.... ....

    wipers86 nigga what

    A.... ....

    That would be fun, like Janitor Anything, and Unable - some great songs

  48. D.... E....

    Do I hear a new bass and drum kit? This band will never stop getting better.

    D.... E....

    I've seen him play that bass before. It's basically Peavey's interpretation of a Rickenbacker, called a t-40, I think. They're popular as backups for Ric players since they sell for fairly cheap and they have a reputation for being rock-solid. Marissa's guitar is a G&L S-500. I think that black one she got through sponsorship with G&L, so they're both in-effect playing their backups. If anything happens to either of them due to air travel and questionable bag-handlers, it's not like they've lost their originals.

    D.... E....

    You could be right, although the bass doesnt look anything like Rickenbacker and it does seem to have a 'thicker' sound. Good description of MArissa's axe as far as I know... a strat is a strat to me lol I am an old guy.

    D.... E....

    Actually, you're right about it being a strat. G&L was the last company Leo Fender worked for before he passed away. He took the Stratocaster as well as some other classic Fender instruments, further refined them in terms of electronics, hardware, and other design elements, and put them into production under different model names since the 'Fender' company still owns the rights to the original models. Visually the most noticeable difference is that little barbed visual cue on the bottom headstock (which I really love). It's otherwise a hot-rodded Strat, through and through.

    D.... E....

    Cool! Thanks for the info! The Lady can Whale!

    D.... E....

    Yes, she can. They are definitely one of my favorite bands.

  49. A.... A....

    marissa is the most amazing guitarist!!!

  50. S.... ....

    amazing as always
