Are 'Friends' Electric? - Live

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
