G. Love & Special Sauce - Rodeo Clowns Lyrics

Yo what's up this is G.love comin at ya live out here from
California even though I'm Philly born n' bred
And i got my man Jack Johnson in the studio today
we just got outta surf my man jack, tell em what time it is

sweepin the floors, open up the doors yeah
turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
nobody's romancin cause its too early for dancin
but here comes the music...

bright lights flashing 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
when nobody understands he'll become a smaller man
the bright lights keep flashing

the woman keep on dancin with the clowns yeah yeah yeah
they pick me up when im down yeah yeah
the rodeo clowns yeah yeah yeah
they pick me up when im 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 breath
teeny boppin 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 occured

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
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 fell 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
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 mmm mmm mmm
with the rest of the clowns...

sweepin the floors, open up the doors yeah
turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
nobody's romancin cause its too early for dancin
but here comes the music...
