Rodeo Clowns lyrics

Sweepin' the floors, open up the doors, yeah

Turn on the lights, gettin' ready for tonight

Nobody's romancin' 'cause it's too early for dancin'

But here comes the music

Bright lights flashin'

To cover up your lack of soul

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 flashin', women keep on dancin'

with the clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah

Pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah

The rodeo clowns, 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

Teeny-boppin' disco queen,

She barely understands her dreams

Of belly button rings

And other kinda 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, comin' from a broken man

Well, you try to live but he's done tryin'

Not dead, but definitely dyin'

With the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah

Mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh

The rest of the clowns

Sweepin' the floors, open up the doors, yeah

Turn on the lights gettin' ready for tonight

Nobody's romancin' 'cause it's too early for dancin'

But here comes the music
