Are Friends Electric

Groove Armada


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

And now 
The light fades out
And I wonder 
What I'm doing 
In a room like this
And there's 
A knock on the door
And just for a second 
I thought 
I remembered you

So now I'm alone
And now 
I can think for myself
About little deals
And S.U's
And things 
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

Now the light fades out
And I wonder 
What I'm doing 
In a room like this
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling 
Off of my walls
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now 
I've no-one to love
