rodeo clowns

sweepin the floors

open up the doors

yeah turn on the lights

getting ready for the night

nobody's romancing

'cause its 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 reason to buy another round

drink it down

just another night on the town

with the big man

money man

better then 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 flashin

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 spinnin'

all the music and the women

and the shots of tequila

man they say that they need ya

what they really need

is just a little room to breath

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 mmm mmmm mmmm

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 its too early for dancing

but here comes the music
