Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns (Acoustic) lyrics

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors yeah Turn on the lights, get ready for the night Nobody's romancing cause it's too early for dancing But here comes the music Bright lights flashing to cover up you Like so 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 understand, he'll become a smaller man The bright lights keep flashing and the women keep dancing With the clowns yeah, yeah, yeah Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah, yeah Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah They pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah, yeah The disco ball's spinning, 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 A teeny-bopping disco queen she barely understands Her dreams are belly-bu*ton rings and other kinds of things Symbolic of change but the thing that is strange Is the change has occurred And now she's just a part of the herd yeah, yeah, yeah Man I thought you had heard yeah, yeah, yeah The change has occurred yeah, yeah, yeah You're just a part of the herd yeah, 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 Because 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 he's done tryin', not dead but definitely dying With the rest of the clowns yeah, yeah The rest of the clowns yeah, yeah With the clowns yeah, yeah, yeah Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah, yeah Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah They pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah, yeah Sweeping the floors, open up the doors yeah Turn on the lights, get ready for the night Nobody's romancing 'cause it's too early for dancing But here comes the music
