Are 'Friends' Electric

[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'm wondering 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

[Chorus 1]

So now I'm alone, now I can think for myself

About little deals and issues, and things I just don't understand

Like a white lie at night, a slight touch at times

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 candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed

[Verse 4]

You know I hate to ask

But, are friends electric?

Only mines broke down

And now I've no one to love

[Chorus 2]

So I find out your reason for the phone calls and smiles

And it hurts and I'm lonely, and I should never have tried

And I missed you tonight, so it's time to leave

You see this means everything to me
