The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
She's a zombie baby
Dead ringer in my head
And now we're rollin'
We're empty playin'
Hey! Wow!
Hey, yeah, like a zombie breathin'
Hey, yeah, been thinkin' of you life
Hey, yeah, like a desert monkey
Hey, yeah, we go down inside
Wow! Like a creep or solar center
Wow! I'm gonna feel it
Wow! I'm gonna feel it, dead, yeah
Freak out and feed the gods
Do you know what it means to feel like god?
Creep on the wheels of love
Do you know what it means to feel like god?
Hey, yeah, like your hands on my back and
Hey, yeah, be a bigman or bleed
Hey, yeah, like a days last moment
Hey, yeah, give me what I need
Wow! Like a baby sister
Wow! Ooh, a dark creep lover
Wow! I'm gonna feel it
Wow! I'm gonna feel it, dead, yeah
Freak out and feed the gods
Do you know what it means to feel like god?
Creep on the wheels of love
Do you know what it means to feel like god?
Yeah, get a load of this, gonna get away
One hell beast shot over me, yeah
Gonna bleed from like, a shrapnel wound
I wasn't made to suffer, huh!
Shootin' on the run, gonna wreck 'em
Yo, you can't just dump 'em
Freak out and feed the gods
Do you know what it means to feel like god?
Creep on the wheels of love
Do you know what it means to feel like god?
Hey, yeah, it's alone in my head
Hey, yeah, and I think of the past
Hey, yeah, I'm a dirty mouth
Hey, yeah, because I'm alive and
Wow! People's sole possession
Wow! Ooh, a dirty little witch
Wow! I'm gonna feel it
Wow! I'm gonna feel it, dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Dead ringer in my head
And now we're rollin'
We're empty playin'
Hey! Wow!
Hey, yeah, like a zombie breathin'

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
