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 (power)
I was respected (respect)
But not any more
And I've lost the love of 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 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

Out among the stars I sail,
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am, and what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more
.
All the things I thought I'd be, all the brave things I'd done
Vanished like a snowflake, with the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship, where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more
.
No it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky, I believe I can fly
Why I'd fly
Clearly now, I will go sailing, no more

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
"Boy, you've got a friend in me"
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
.
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
.
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
