Lyrics Strange Things - Randy Newman

I was on top of the world livin' high
It was right in my pocket
I was livin' the life
Things were just the way they should be

When from out of the sky
Like a bomb comes some little punk in a rocket
Now all of a sudden
Some strange things are happenin' to me

I had friends
I had lots of friends
Now all my friends are gone
And I'm doin' best I can to carry on

I had power (power)
I was respected (respect)
But not anymore
And I've lost the love
The one whom I adored

Let me tell you about the strange things
Are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me
Ain't no doubt about it

You got someone you think you know well
It turns out a stranger
The minute you turn your back
You're in it all by yourself

They laugh at your jokes
You think you're doin' quite well
But you're in danger, boy
You end up alone, forgotten
Way up on the shelf

Strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me
Ain't no doubt about it

Strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me

Strange things
Strange things
Strange things
