Gary Numan - Are ‘Friends' Electric? (Leather Strip Mix) lyrics
[Gary Numan - Are ‘Friends' Electric? Leather Strip Mix lyrics]
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
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
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
I don't think it meant anything to you
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
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love
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 it meant everything to me
