Artist: gary numan
Song: are 'friends' electric?
Year: 2003
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 cigarette
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Now 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 you
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
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
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
So 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 bed
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
You know I hate to ask
(But are friends electric?)
[Incomprehensible] mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
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
So it's time to leave
You see this means everything to me
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
