Strange Things - Randy Newman

I was on top of the world

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' the best I can to carry on I had power (power)

I was respected (respect)

But not any more

And I’ve lost the love to 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' 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
