Lou Reed And John Cale Slip Away (a Warning) Lyrics

Slip Away (a Warning) Lyrics

Friends have 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 to
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
