Karaoké Are Friends Electric? Tubeway Army & 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 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 issues and things that

I just don't understand

Like 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 so it's time to leave

You see it meant everything to me
