Rodeo Clowns

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

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

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 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

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

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
Mm, mm, mm, mmm, mm, mmm, mm
With the rest of the clowns

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
