Words and music: lou reed & john cale
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
John Cale is a Welsh musician and composer born in 1942. After studying music in London and New York, he joined The Velvet Underground in 1965, significantly contributing to their experimental and distinctive sound in the first two albums. Cale introduced the droning viola sound, a characteristic element of songs like "Venus In Furs". After the album *White Light/White Heat*, he left the band due to musical differences with Lou Reed. Cale desired to continue exploring experimental sounds, while Reed gravitated towards simpler pop songs. Cale embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as *Vintage Violence* (1970) and *Paris 1919* (1973), influencing genres like experimental rock, ambient, and electronic music. Among his most representative tracks are "Gideon", "The Endless Plain of Glass" and "Hallelujah".
