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
