Sweepin' the floors
|
Open up the doors yeah
|
Turn on the lights
|
Gettin' ready for the night
|
Nobody's romancin'
|
'Cause it's too early for dancin'
|
But here comes the music
|
|
Bright lights flashin? 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
|
But nobody understands
|
He'll become a smaller man
|
The bright lights keep flashing
|
Man the women keep on dancin'
|
|
With the clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah
|
The Rodeo Clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
|
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
|
But what they really need
|
Is just a little room to breathe
|
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 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 occured yeah, yeah, yeah
|
She's 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 yah
|
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 trying
|
Not dead but definitely dying
|
|
With the rest of the clowns yeah, yeah
|
With the rest of the clowns yeah, yeah
|
|
The rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah
|
The rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
|
Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah
|
|
Sweeping the floors
|
Open up the doors yeah
|
Turn on the lights
|
Getting ready for the night
|
Nobody's romancing 'Cause it's too early for dancin'
|
But here comes the music
