Are `friends` Electric? — текст песни (Gary Numan)

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

Now the light fades out
And I`m 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

So now I`m alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And *issues*
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

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

You know I hate to ask
But, are `friends` electric?
Mine`s broke down
And now I`ve no one to love

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
