TOM WAITS lyrics : "Diamonds & Gold"

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


Chorus:
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 rainbo
Steal me a dream

.
Small time Napoleons
Shattered his knees

But he stays in the saddle for Rose
And all his disciple
They shave in the gutter

And gather what's left of his clothes
Chorus


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
