Diamonds & Gold lyrics

Broken glass

Rusty nails

Where the wild violets grow

Say goodbye to the railroad

And the mad dogs of summer

And everything that I know

Some men will do here for diamonds

Some men will do here for gold

They're wounded but they just keep on climbin'

And 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 Napoleon's

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

Some men will do here for diamonds

Some men will do here for gold

They're wounded but they just keep on climbin'

And sleep by the side of the road
