People said to lock the door and have an open house no more
They said the Factory must change and slowly slip away
| A7Sus4/ | (addA)/ | (addA)
| | A7Sus4/
But if I have to live in fear, where will I get my ideas?
| (addA)/ | (addA) |
With all those crazy people gone, will I slowly slip away
| A7Sus4/ | (addA)/ | (addA)
Still there's no more Billy Name, Ondine is not the same
Wonton and the Turtle gone
Slowly slip away, slowly slip away
| | | | A7Sus4/ | (addA)/ | (addA) |
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
| A7Sus4/
Watch out for who comes through that door
| (addA)/
They say the Factory must change

(spoken:) But I don't
