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, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I'm 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
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And issues
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
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
You know I hate to ask
But, are 'friends' electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
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
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
And I'm 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
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And issues
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
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
But, are 'friends' electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
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

This song is a Gary Numan cover; the site ate the name: Are "Friends" Electric, not 'are'. Harland actually says Gray Hair, where Numan says Gray Hat.
All good points. I suppose it ate it because of the quotes? Doh :/
