Replicants Are 'friends' Electric
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'm wondering 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
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight 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
I say "please sit down"
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
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
So it's time to leave
You see
It meant everything to me
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
