Are friends Electric?

Its cold outside

And the paints peeling off of my walls

Theres a man outside

In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out

And Im wondering what Im doing in a room like this

Theres a knock on the door

And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now Im alone

Now I can think for myself

About little deals

And *issues*

And things that I just dont understand

Like a white lie that night

Or a slight touch at times

I dont think it meant anything to you

So I open the door

Its the `friend that Id left in the hallway

Please sit down

A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask

But, are `friends electric?

Mines broke down

And now Ive no one to love

So I find out your reason

For the phone calls and smiles

And it hurts

And Im lonely

And I should never have tried

And I missed you tonight

So its time to leave

You see this means everything to me
