An Pierlé - Are friends electric? lyrics

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 You know, I hate to ask But are my friends electric? So I open the door It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway I said, "Please, sit down" A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed You know, I hate to ask But are friends electric? Only much broke down, down, down, down, down And now I've no one to love You know, I hate to ask But are friends electric?
