|
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 |
