Origineel
[Intro]
Sweeping the floors, open up the doors, yeah
Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
Nobody’s romancing ‘cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
The disco ball spinning, all the music and the women and
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 bopping disco queen, she barely understands
Her dreams of bellybutton rings and other kinds of things
[Chorus]
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
Just a part of the herd
[Verse 3]
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 moods, 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 trying
Not dead but definitely dying
[Chorus]
With the rest of the clowns
Yeah, yeah
Mm, mm, mm, mmm, mm, mmm, mm
With the rest of the clowns
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Sweeping the floors, open up the doors, yeah
Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
Nobody’s romancing ‘cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music
Vertaling
[Intro]
Veeg de vloeren, open de deuren, ja
Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
Nobody’s romancing ‘cause it’s too early for dancing
Maar hier komt de muziek
[Verse 1]
Bright lights flashing to cover up your lack of
Zo veel mensen, zo veel problemen, zo veel redenen
To buy another round, drink it down
Just another night on the town
Met de grote man, geld man, beter dan de andere man
Hij heeft het plan met de miljoen dollar die het hem kan schelen
Als niemand het begrijpt, wordt hij een kleinere man
De felle lichten blijven flitsen, de vrouwen blijven dansen
[refrein]
With the clowns
Ja, ja, ja.
They pick me up when I’m down
Yeah, yeah
De Rodeo Clowns
Ja, ja, ja.
They pick me up when I’m down
[Verse 2]
The disco ball spinning, all the music and the women and
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 bopping disco queen, she barely understands
Haar dromen van navelringen en andere dingen
[refrein]
Symbolisch voor verandering, maar het vreemde is
Is dat de veranderingen plaatsvonden, en nu is ze gewoon een deel van de kudde
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Man ik dacht dat je het gehoord had
Yeah, yeah
De veranderingen hebben plaatsgevonden
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just a part of the herd
[Verse 3]
Lights out, shut down, late night, wet ground
You walk by look at him but he can’t look at you, yeah
Je voelt misschien medelijden maar hij voelt alleen de grond
Jij begrijpt stemmingen, maar hij kent alleen teleurstelling
Bij de hoek is er een ander
Reikt een hand uit, afkomstig van een gebroken man, nou
Jij probeert te leven maar hij is klaar met proberen
Niet dood maar zeker stervende
[Chorus]
Met de rest van de clowns
Yeah, yeah
Mm, mm, mm, mmm, mm, mmm, mm
With the rest of the clowns
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Sweeping the floors, open up the doors, yeah
Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
Nobody’s romancing ‘cause it’s too early for dancing
But here comes the music
