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

And now
The light fades out
And i wonder
What i'm doing
In a room like this
And there's
A knock on the door
And just for a second
I thought
I remembered you

So now i'm alone
And now
I can think for myself
About little deals
And s.u's
And things
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

Now the light fades out
And i wonder
What i'm doing
In a room like this
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling
Off of my walls
You know i hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now
I've no-one to love
