Are Friends Electric (Live 1984) - Gary Numan

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?)

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
