search for the rest great covers performed by Placebo and the originals too

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
Then 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
