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 (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 happening to me Strange things Strange things are happening to me...
