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 airs

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
