Are 'Friends' Electric? (Part 2) (Live 1980)

[Verse 1]

It's cold outside

And the paint's peeling off of my walls

There's a man outside

In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

[Verse 2]

Now the light fades out

And I wonder what I'm doing

In a room like this

There's a knock on the door

And just for a second I thought

I remembered you

[Bridge]

So now I'm alone

Now I can think for myself

About little deals and issues

And things that I just don't understand

A white lie that night

Or a sly touch at times

Oh, I don't think it meant anything to you

[Verse 3]

So I open the door

It's the "friend" that I'd left in the hallway

"Please sit down"

A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed

[Chorus]

You know I hate to ask

But are "friends" electric?

Only mine's broke down

And now I have no one to love

[Bridge]

So I found out your reasons

For the phone calls and smiles

And it hurts

And I'm lonely

And I should never have tried

And I missed you tonight

It must be time to leave

You see this means everything to me

[Outro]

She said boys are weird

She said boys are loud

She said boys are down

Thank you, thank you
