Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns lyrics

sweeping the floors, open up the doors

yeah turn on the lights, gettin ready for tonight

nobody's romancing cuz it's too early for dancin

but here comes the music

bright lights flashing 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, become a smaller man

the bright lights keep flashing, and 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 yeah yeah

the disco ball spinning, 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 breathe

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 yeah yeah

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

cuz 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 hes done tryin

not dead, but definitely dying

with the rest of the clowns, yeah yeah

(humming)...with the rest of the clowns yeah yeah

the rodeo 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 yeah yeah

sweeping the floors, open up the doors

yeah turn on the lights, gettin ready for tonight

nobody's romancing cuz it's too early for dancin

but here comes the music
