Jack Johnson - Rodeo Clowns ON AND ON (2006)
Sweepin’ 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 comes the music.
Bright lights flashing they cover-up you
Like-a-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 understand he'll become a smaller man
The bright lights keep flashing and the women keep on dancin’
With the clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I'm down yeah, yeah
Rodeo clowns yeah, yeah, yeah
Pick me up when I'm down
The disco ball spinning all the music and the women
And the shots and tequila man they say that they need ya
But what they really need - is just a little room to breathe
A teeny-boppin’ disco queen she barely understands
And dreams of belly button rings and other kinds of things
Symbolic of change but the thing that is strange
Is that the Changes occur
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
She's 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 yeah
You might feel pity but he only feels the ground
You understand booze 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 dyin'
With the rest of the clowns yeah, yeah
Mmm, mm mm mmm, mmm mm
With the rest of the clowns
Sweepin’ 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 comes the music.
