Moloko - Are 'friends' Electric - Текст песни

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
