Rodeo Clowns

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors

Yeah, turn on the lights, getting ready for the night

Nobody's romancing, 'cause it's too early for dancing

But here comes the music

Bright lights flashing

They cover up your lack of so many people

So many problems, so many reasons

To buy another round

Drink it down, just another night on the town

With the big man, money man, better than the other man

He got the plan, with the million dollar give a damn

What nobody understands, become a smaller man

The bright lights keep flashing, women keep on dancing

With the clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah

They pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah

The rodeo clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah

They pick me up when I'm down

The disco ball's spinning, all the music and the women

And the shots of tequila, man they say that they need you

What they really need, is just a little room to breathe

Teeny bopping disco queen, she barely understands

Her dreams of belly button rings and other kinds of things

Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange

Is that the changes occur

And now she's just a part of the herd, yeah, yeah, yeah

Man I thought that you heard, yeah, yeah

The changes occurred, yeah, yeah, yeah

Just a part of the herd

Lights out, shut down, late night, wet ground

You walk by look at him, but he can't look at you

Yeah, you might feel pity, but he only feels the ground

You understand moves, but he only knows let down

By the corner, there's another one

Reaching out a hand, coming from a broken man

Well, he tried to live, but he's done trying

Not dead, but definitely dying

With the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah

Mmm, with the rest of the clowns

Sweepin' the floors, open up the doors

Yeah, turn on the lights, getting ready for the night

Nobody's romancing, 'cause it's too early for dancing

But here comes the music
