Are 'friends' Electric? 2.0 Lyrics - Information Society

It's cold outside 

And the paint's peeling off my walls 

There's a man outside 

In a long coat gray hair 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 

And I can't think for myself 

Of little deals and S.U.'s 

And things I just don't understand 

Like a white lie that night 

Or the 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 candle-lit shadow on the wall near the bed 

You know I hate to ask 

But are 'Friends' electric? 

Only mine is broken 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 

So it's time to leave 

You see this meant everything to me
