Rodeo Clowns

[Chorus] Sweeping the floors, open up the doors Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight Nobody's romancing because it's too early for dancing But here comes the music [Verse] 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 hell 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 spinning, all the music and the women The shots of Tequila, man they'll say that they need ya But what they really need is just a little room to breath 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, now she's just a part of the herd 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 moods but he only knows let down By the corner there's another one Reaching out a hand, coming from a broken man You try to live but he's done trying Not dead but definitely dying With the rest of the clowns [Chorus]
