Are 'Friends' Electric? (Early Version)

Letra de Are 'Friends' Electric? (Early Version)

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 cigaretteNow 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 youSo now I'm alone Now I can think for myself About little deals And issues 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 youSo 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 bedYou know I hate to ask But are 'friends' electric? Only... mine's broke down And now I've no-one to loveSo 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 So it's time to leave You see it meant everything to me
