Are ‘Friends’ Electric?

Lyrics

[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 [Chorus] 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 at night Or a sly 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 candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed [Verse 4] You know I hate to ask But are 'friends' electric? Only mine's broke down And now I've no one to love [Chorus] 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 So it's time to leave You see, it meant everything to me
