Republica are friends electric? lyrics

It's cold outside

 And the paints 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 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
