John Cale - Slip Away (A Warning) lyrics

rate me

Words and music: Lou Reed & John Cale

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

Friends have said to lock the door

Watch out for who comes through the door

The said the Factory must change

But I don't
