Lyrics Rodeo Clowns - Jack Johnson

Sweepin′ the floors, open up the doors, yeah
Turn on the lights, gettin' ready for the night
Nobody′s romancin' 'cause it′s too early for dancin′
But here comes the music
Bright lights flashing
They cover up you like 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 understand become a smaller man
The bright lights keep flashin'
Women keep on dancin′ with the clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah
The rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I′m down
The disco ball spinnin' all the music
And the women and the shots of tequila
Man, they′ll say that they need ya
What they really need is just a little room to breathe
A teeny boppin' 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 occurred
And now she's just a part of the herd, yeah, yeah, yeah
Man, I thought that you heard, yeah
The changes occurred, yeah, yeah, yeah
She′s just 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 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
With the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah
Mmm-mmm-mmm, with the rest of the clowns
Sweepin' the floors, open up the doors, yeah
Turn on the lights, gettin′ ready for the night
Nobody's romancin′ 'cause it's too early for dancin′
But here comes the music
