Diamonds & Gold - Tom Waits

The broken glass

And the rusty nails

Where the violets grow

Say goodbye to the railroad

And the mad dogs of summer

And everything that I know

What some men will do here for diamonds

What some men will do here for gold

They're wounded but they just keep on climbin

And they sleep by the side of the road

There's a hole in the ladder

A fence we can climb

Mad as a hatter

You're thin as a dime

Go out to the meadow

The hills are agreen

Sing me a rainbow

Steal me a dream

Small time Napoleons

Shattered his knees

But he stays in the saddle for Rose

And all his disciples

They shave in the gutter

And gather what's left of his clothes

What some men will do here for diamonds

What some men will do here for gold

They're wounded but they just keep on climbin

And they sleep by the side of the road

There's a hole in the ladder

A fence we can climb

Mad as a hatter

You're thin as a dime

Go out to the meadow

The hills are agreen

Sing me a rainbow

Steal me a dream
