Lou Reed - Slip Away lyrics

People said to lock the door and have an open house no more The said the Factory must change and slowly slip away But if I have to live in fear, where will I get my ideas With all those crazy people gone, will I slowly slip away Still there's no more Billy Name, and Ondine is not the same Wonton and the Turtle gone Slowly slip away...slowly slip away If I close the Factory door and don't see those people anymore If I give in yo infamy...I'll slowly slip away I know it seems that friends are right Hello daylight, goodbye night But starlight is so quiet here, think I'll slowly slip away What can I do by myself, it's good to here from someone else It's good to hear a crazy voice that will not slip away Will not slip away If I have to live in fear my ideas will slowly slip away If I have to live in fear I'm afraid my life will slip away If you can't see me past my door Why your thoughts could slowly slip away If I have to lock the door, another life exists no more Slip away
