paroles de chanson Are 'Friends' Electric? - Tubeway Army

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 meant 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
It must be time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
