Are Friends Electric? Lyrics - Republica

It's cold outside 

And the paints 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 S.U's 

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 candle lit 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 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 

It must be time to leave 

You see it meant everything to me
