Rodeo Clowns Lyrics by Jack Johnson

Rodeo Clowns Lyrics

    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
