Jack Johnson Rodeo Clowns Lyrics

Rodeo Clowns 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 problem

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-button 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 like cryin` because

You understand (???) 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

 

(whistle)
