Are Friends Electric? (Live) 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
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, now I can think for myself
About little deals and SU's
And things that 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 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
