Tom Waits "Diamonds & Gold" lyrics

Diamonds & Gold

Broken glassRusty nailsWhere the wild violets growSay goodbye to the railroadAnd the mad dogs of summerAnd everything that I knowSome men will do here for diamondsSome men will do here for goldThey're wounded but they just keep on climbin'And sleep by the side of the roadThere's a hole in the ladderA fence we can climbMad as a hatterYou're thin as a dimeGo out to the meadowThe hills are agreenSing me a rainbowSteal me a dreamSmall time Napoleon'sShattered his kneesBut he stays in the saddle for RoseAnd all his disciplesThey shave in the gutterAnd gather what's left of his clothesSome men will do here for diamondsSome men will do here for goldThey're wounded but they just keep on climbin'And sleep by the side of the road
