Rodeo Clowns Lyrics

Rodeo Clowns lyrics

yo, what's up?

this is G-Love coming at you live out here from California, 
even though I'm Philly born and bred...

and I got my man Jack Johnson in the studio today - we just got out of the surf
my man, Jack, tell 'em what time it is...

(uh, com 'on)

sweeping the floors
open up the doors
yeah, turn on the lights
getting ready for the night
nobody's romancin' 
cause it's too early for dancin'
but here come's the music

bright lights flashin'
the color of your liquor
so many people
so many powers
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 dollars
don't give a damn
when nobody understands
he become smaller

and the bright lights keep flashin
and the women keep on dancin'
with the clowns, yeah, yeah
pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah
the rodeo clowns, yeah, yeah
pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah

the disco ball's spinnin'
all the music and the women
and a shot of tequila
man, they say that the need ya
what they really need
is just a little room to breathe

teeny boppin' disco queen
she barely understands her dreams
her belly button rings
and other kinds of things

symbolic of change
but the thing that is starnge
is that the changes occured
and now she' just a part of the herd, yeah, yeah, yeah
man I though 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 rec-round
you walk by, look at him
but he can't look at you, yeah

you might feel pitty
but he only feels so grumpy
'cause ah, you understand who's buddy only knows
let down by the corner there's another one
reachin' out a hand
comin' from a broken man
well, you try to live 
but he's done tryin
he's not dead, but definitely dying
with the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah

with the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah

(cool)

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 romancin' 
cause it's too early for dancin'
but here come's the music
