Rodeo Clowns

[Intro]

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors, yeah

Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight

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

But here comes the music

[Verse 1]

Bright lights flashing to 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

When nobody understands, he'll become a smaller man

The bright lights keep flashing, the women keep on dancing

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

The shots of Tequila, man they'll say that they need ya

But what they really need, is just a little room to breath

Teeny bopping disco queen, she barely understands

Her dreams of bellybutton rings and other kinds of things

[Chorus]

Symbolic of change but the thing that is strange

Is that the changes occurred, 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

[Verse 3]

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 moods, but he only knows let down

By the corner there's another one

Reaching out a hand, coming from a broken man, well

You try to live but he's done trying

Not dead but definitely dying

[Chorus]

With the rest of the clowns

Yeah, yeah

Mm, mm, mm, mmm, mm, mmm, mm

With the rest of the clowns

[Interlude]

[Outro]

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors, yeah

Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight

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

But here comes the music
