Song Lyrics

yo, what's up?



this is G-Love coming at you live out here from California,

even though I'm Philly born and bred...



and I got my man Jack Johnson in the studio today - we just got out of the surf

my man, Jack, tell 'em what time it is...



(uh, com 'on)



sweeping 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 come's the music



bright lights flashin'

the color of your liquor

so many people

so many powers

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 dollars

don't give a damn

when nobody understands

he become smaller



and the bright lights keep flashin

and the women keep on dancin'

with the clowns, yeah, yeah

pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah

the rodeo clowns, yeah, yeah

pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah



the disco ball's spinnin'

all the music and the women

and a shot of tequila

man, they say that the need ya

what they really need

is just a little room to breathe



teeny boppin' disco queen

she barely understands her dreams

her belly button rings

and other kinds of things



symbolic of change

but the thing that is starnge

is that the changes occured

and now she' just a part of the herd, yeah, yeah, yeah

man I though that you heard, yeah yeah



the changes occured yeah, yeah, yeah

she's just a part of the herd, yeah yeah



lights out, shut down

late night rec-round

you walk by, look at him

but he can't look at you, yeah



you might feel pitty

but he only feels so grumpy

'cause ah, you understand who's buddy only knows

let down by the corner there's another one

reachin' out a hand

comin' from a broken man

well, you try to live

but he's done tryin

he's not dead, but definitely dying

with the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah



with the rest of the clowns, yeah, yeah



(cool)



the rodeo clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah

pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah



the rodeo clowns, yeah, yeah, yeah

pick me up when I'm down, yeah, yeah



sweeping 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 come's the music
