 Rate Diamonds And Gold
Artist : Tom Waits
Song : Diamonds And Gold
Broken glass, rusty nails where the wild violets
grow
Say goodbye to the railroad, the mad dogs
of summer
And everything that I
know
What some men will do here for
diamonds
What some men will do here for
gold
They're wounded but they just keep on
climbing
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 a-green
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 they gather what's left of his
clothes
What some men will do here for
diamonds
What some men will do here for
gold
They're wounded but they just keep on
climbing
And sleep by the side of the road
