Are 'Friends' Electric?
It's cold outsideAnd the paint's peeling off of my wallsThere's a man outsideIn a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigaretteNow the light fades outAnd I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like thisThere's a knock on the doorAnd just for a second I thought I remembered youSo now I'm aloneNow I can think for myselfAbout little dealsAnd issuesAnd things that I just don't understandLike a white lie that nightOr a slight touch at timesI don't think it meant anything to youSo I open the doorIt's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallwayPlease sit downA candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bedYou know I hate to askBut, are 'friends' electric? SongtexteMine's broke downAnd now I've no one to loveSo I find out your reasonFor the phone calls and smilesAnd it hurtsAnd I'm lonelyAnd I should never have triedAnd I missed you tonightSo it's time to leaveYou see this means everything to me Aus Songtexte Mania
