Big Star Holocaust
Your eyes are almost dead Can't get out of bed And you can't sleep You're sitting down to dress And you're a mess You look in the mirror You look in your eyes Say you realize Everybody goes Leaving those who fall behind Everybody goes As far as they can, They don't just care. They stood on the stairs Laughing at your errors Your mother's dead She said, "Don't be afraid." Your mother's dead You're on your own She's in her bed Everybody goes Leaving those who fall behind Everybody goes As far as they can They don't just care You're a wasted face You're a sad-eyed lie You're a holocaust.
