Republica - Are 'friends' Electric? lyrics

rate me

It's cold outside

And the paints peeling off of my walls

There's a man outside

In a long coatgrey hatsmoking 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 s.u'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 candle lit 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 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

It must be time to leave

You see it meant everything to me
