Are 'Friends' Electric?

It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, gray hat, smoking a cigarette Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Now the light fades out And I'm only 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 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh So now I'm alone Now I can think for myself About little deals and S.U.'s 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 Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh 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 Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh You know I hate to ask (But are friends electric?) [Incomprehensible] mine's broke down And now I've no one to love Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh 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 Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh
