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, gray hat, smoking a cigaretteOh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohNow the light fades out
And I'm only wondering 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 youOh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohSo now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals and S.U.'s
And things that I just don't understandLike a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to youOh oh oh
Oh oh ohOh oh oh
Oh ohSo I open the door
It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway
"Please sit down"

A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bedOh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohYou know I hate to ask
(But are friends electric?)
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no one to loveOh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohOh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohSo I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have triedAnd I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this means everything to meOh oh oh
Oh oh ohOh oh oh
Oh oh
