Lou Reed & John Cale - Slip Away (A Warning) lyrics

rate me

Friends have said to lock the door<br />

And have an open house no more<br />

They said the factory must change<br />

And slowly slip away<br />

<br />

But if I have to live in fear<br />

Where will I get my ideas<br />

With all those crazy people gone<br />

Will I slowly slip away?<br />

<br />

Still there's no more Billy Name<br />

Ondine is not the same<br />

Wonton and the turtle gone<br />

Slowly slip away, slowly slip away<br />

<br />

If I close the factory door<br />

And don't see those people anymore<br />

If I give in to infamy<br />

I'll slowly slip away<br />

<br />

I know it seems that friends are right<br />

Hello daylight, goodbye night<br />

But stillness is so quiet here<br />

Think I'll slowly slip away<br />

<br />

What can I do by myself?<br />

It's good to hear from someone else<br />

It's good to hear a crazy voice<br />

Will not slip away, will not slip away<br />

<br />

If I have to live in fear<br />

My ideas will slowly slip away<br />

If I have to live in fear<br />

I'm afraid my life will slip away<br />

<br />

If you can't see me past my door<br />

Why, your thoughts could slowly slip away<br />

If I have to lock the door<br />

Another life exists no more, slip away<br />

<br />

Friends have said to lock the door<br />

Watch out for what comes through that door<br />

They said the factory must change<br />

But I don't
