It's cold outside
and the paint's peeling off of my walls
there's a man outside
in a long coat grey hat smoking a cigarette

oho-oho-oho-oho...

Now the lights 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 a remembered you

oho-oho-oho-oho...

So I open the door
it's the friend that i'd left in the hallway
please sit down
a candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

oho-oho-oho-oho...

You know I hate to ask
but are friends electric
only mines broke down
and now I've got no one to love

oho-oho-oho-oho...
