Lou Reed 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
