People said to lock the door and have an open house no more
| G| D  
They said the Factory must change and slowly slip away

| D| A7sus4/ E  D  
But if I have to live in fear, where will I get my ideas?
| G(addA)/B | G(addA) | D  
With all those crazy people gone, will I slowly slip away

Still there's no more Billy Name, Ondine is not the same

Wonton and the Turtle gone

Slowly slip away, slowly slip away
| F| F| D| A7sus4/ E   D| G(addA)/B | G(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
| F| Bb| F| F  
If I have to live in fear my ideas will slowly slip away
| F| Bb| F| F  
If I have to live in fear I'm afraid my life will slip away
| F  
If you can't see me past my door,
| Bb| F| F  
why your thoughts could slowly slip away
| F| Bb| F| F  
If I have to lock the door, another life exists no more, slip away
| D  
Friends have said to lock the door
| A7sus4/ E  D  
Watch out for who comes through that door
| G(addA)/B
They say the Factory must change
| (no chord)
(spoken:) But I don't
