[Tubeway Army - Are ‘Friends' Electric? lyrics]
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
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 SU'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
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
So it's time to leave
You see, it meant everything to me
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 SU'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
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
So it's time to leave
You see, it meant everything to me
