People said to lock the door and have an open house no more
They 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 [bad word] through the door
The said the Factory must change
But I don't
