Intro
Verse
sweeping the floors, open up the doors, yeah
turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
nobodys romancing 'cause its too early for dancin
but here comes the music
bright lights flashing to cover up your lack of 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 understands he'll become a smaller man
the bright lights keep flashing, the women keep on dancing
Chorus
with the clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah...
they pick me up when I'm down yeah-yeah
the rodeo clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah
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 breathe
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...
and now she's just a part of the
herd....yeah, yeah, yeah, man I thought
that you heard...yeah, yeah
the changes occurred, yeah, yeah, yeah, (yeah)
just a part of the herd
lights out, shut down, late night, wet ground
you walk by look at him, but he cant look at you, yeah
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, yeah
you try to live but he's done trying
not dead, but definitely dying
with the rest of the clowns.....yeah, yeah
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmmm...Mmmmm with the rest of the clowns....
