Strange Things

Randy Newman · Other Songs - Randy Newman

I was on top of the world living high

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 anymore

And I've lost the love

The one whom I adored



Let me tell you about

The 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 quite 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

Strange things
