Rodeo Clowns

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors

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 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, the women keep on dancing

With the clowns, they pick me up when I'm down

The rodeo clowns, they pick me up when I'm down

The disco ball's 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 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

Man I thought that you heard, the changes occurred

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

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

He tried to live but he's done trying

Not dead, but definitely dying

With the rest of the clowns

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors

Turn on the lights, getting ready for the night

Nobody's romancing, 'cause its too early for dancing

But here comes the music
