Are "Friends" Electric? 2.0 Songtext
von Information Society

It′s cold outside
And the paint's peeling off my walls
There′s a man outside
In a long coat, gray hair, 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, and I can think for myself
Of little deals and issues and things I just don′t understand
Like a white line at 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 the wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But, are friends electric?
Only mine′s broken 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 this meant everything to me

Heh
Sgurd od t'nod srenniw
Krowemoh ruoy od
Stnerap rouy yebo

She takes him in her arms
