Big Star - Holocaust lyrics

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.
