She went in and bought some bullets 
But she didn't have a gun
There was a time when time was never ending 
But that time is long gone 

And the strangest things are gonna knock you down 
Wasn't any one man seemed to do it 
Just a series of losers on a losin' streak 
She smoked a cigarette, slipped on her leather jacket 
And left town singin' "Life's so bittersweet."

And the strangest things are gonna knock you down 
The strangest things are gonna pick you up again
You can only get so far before you reach the ocean
Where do you go from there 
You can't go back, now you've set the wheels in motion
Dark clouds on the horizon 
Rain's good for leather anyway 
She dreamt that night she could walk on water
And she just walked away 
And the strangest things are gonna knock you down 
The strangest things are gonna pick you up again 
Strangest things
