This song is "Holocaust," from Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers album. Time has proven its reputation as a haunting masterpiece - and a fitting tribute to the talents of songwriter, Alex Chilton. The group's influence has continued on, to this: "Big Star Third," a ongoing concert series by a diverse community of musicians performing the whole of Third, working from scores re-created by composer Carl Marsh. Chris Stamey (the dB's) provides additional orchestration and serves as the series produce
Versuri
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
