Gary Numan - Are Friends Electric? Lyrics

Send "Are Friends Electric?" ringtones to your cell

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 

Now 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 you 

So now I'm alone 
Now I can think for myself 
About little deals and issues 
And things that I just don't understand 
A white lie that night 
Or a sly touch at times 
I don't think it mean 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 
So it's time to leave 
You see it meant everything to me
