Gary Numan - Are ôfriendsi electric? lyrics

It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, gray hat, smoking a cigarette Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Now the light fades out And I'm only 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 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh So now I'm alone Now I can think for myself About little deals and S.U.'s And things that I just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh So I open the door It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway "Please sit down" A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh You know I hate to ask (But are friends electric?) Only mine's broke down And now I've no one to love Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh 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 Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh
