Lyrics

[00:26.32] Sweepin the floors, open up the doors
[00:28.86] Yeah turn on the lights, getting ready for the night
[00:31.70] Nobody's romancing, 'cause its too early for dancing
[00:34.04] But here comes the music ...
[00:36.47]
[00:36.99] Bright lights flashing
[00:38.10] They cover up your lack of so many people
[00:39.99] So many problems
[00:40.86] So many reason to buy another round
[00:43.19] Drink it down
[00:43.70] Just another night on the town
[00:45.42]
[00:47.05] With the big man, money man, better then the other man
[00:49.49] He got the plan, with the million dollar give a damn
[00:52.90] What nobody understands
[00:54.05] Become a smaller man, the bright lights keep flashin,
[00:56.74] Women keep on dancing with the clowns,
[00:58.51] Yeah, yeah, yeah,
[00:59.78] They pick me up when I'm down,
[01:01.66] Yeah, yeah,
[01:02.68] The rodeo clowns
[01:03.85] Yeah, yeah, yeah, they pick me up when I'm down
[01:07.18]
[01:08.55] The disco ball's spinnin', all the music and the women
[01:10.89] And the shots of tequila,
[01:12.08] Man they say that they need ya
[01:13.91] What they really need, is just a little room to breath
[01:18.89] Teeny bopping disco queen
[01:19.75] She barely understands her dreams of belly button rings
[01:22.13] And other kinds of things
[01:24.32] Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange
[01:26.91] Is that the changes occur
[01:28.28] And now she's just a part of the herd, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:31.43] Man i thought that you heard
[01:33.06] Yeah, yeah
[01:34.32] The changes occurred
[01:35.31] Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a part of the herd
[01:38.55]
[01:40.24] Lights out, shut down, late night, wet ground
[01:43.28] You walk by look at him, but he can't look at you
[01:45.77] Yeah, you might feel pity, but he only feels the ground
[01:48.36] You understand moves, but he only knows let down
[01:51.05] By the corner, there's another one
[01:53.24] Reaching out a hand, coming from a broken man
[01:55.77] Well he tried to live, but he's done trying
[01:58.31] Not dead, but definitely dying
[02:01.11]
[02:03.04] With the rest of the clowns
[02:04.77] Yeah, yeah
[02:05.93]
[02:08.87] With the rest of the clowns
[02:10.49]
[02:22.44] Sweepin the floors, open up the doors,
[02:24.93] Yeah turn on the lights, getting ready for the night
[02:27.74] Nobody's romancing, 'cause its too early for dancing
[02:30.09] But here comes the music
