Strange Things

Strange Things - Randy Newman

I was on top of the world

It was right in my pocket

I was living 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 happening to me

I had friends I had lots of friends

Now all my friends are gone

And I'm doing the best I can

To carry on

I had power

I was respected

But not any more

And I've lost the love

Of the one whom I adored

Let me tell you about it

Strange things are happening to me

Strange things

Strange things are happening 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 doing well

But you're in danger boy

You end up alone forgotten

Way up on the shelf

Strange things are happening to me

Strange things

Strange things are happening to me

Ain't no doubt about it

Strange things are happening to me

Strange things

Strange things are happening to me

Strange things

Strange things
