Tom Waits - Diamonds & Gold Lyrics
Broken glass, rusty nails where the wild violets growSay goodbye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summerAnd everything that I knowWhat some men will do here for diamondsWhat some men will do here for goldTheyre wounded but they just keep on climbingAnd sleep by the side of the roadTheres a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climbMad as a hatter, youre thin as a dimeGo out to the meadow, the hills are a-greenSing me a rainbow, steal me a dreamSmall-time napoleons shattered his kneesBut he stays in the saddle for roseAnd all his disciples, they shave in the gutterAnd they gather whats left of his clothesWhat some men will do here for diamondsWhat some men will do here for goldTheyre wounded but they just keep on climbingAnd sleep by the side of the road
