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
Chorus:
What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for gold
Theyre wounded but they just keep on climbin
And they sleep by the side of the road
Theres a hole in the ladder
A fence we can climb
Mad as a hatter
Youre 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 whats left of his clothes
Chorus
Theres a hole in the ladder
A fence we can climb
Mad as a hatter
Youre thin as a dime
Go out to the meadow
The hills are agreen
Sing me a rainbow
Steal me a dream
[ Diamonds & Gold Lyrics ]
