Lyrics

[00:11.59] Broken glass, rusty nails where the wild violets grow
[00:19.56]
[00:21.49] Say goodbye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summer
[00:28.18] And everything that I know
[00:30.43] What some men will do here for diamonds
[00:40.07]
[00:41.45] What some men will do here for gold
[00:43.89]
[00:47.14] They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
[00:49.21]
[00:52.78] And sleep by the side of the road
[00:55.65]
[00:57.02] There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb
[01:02.34]
[01:04.62] Mad as a hatter, you're thin as a dime
[01:09.65] Go out to the meadow, the hills are a-green
[01:15.84] Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream
[01:20.65]
[01:31.08] Small-time Napoleon's shattered his knees
[01:32.77] But he stays in the saddle for Rose
[01:36.23]
[01:38.10] And all his disciples, they shave in the gutter
[01:42.60]
[01:43.60] And they gather what's left of his clothes
[01:48.07]
[01:51.42] What some men will do here for diamonds
[01:53.42] What some men will do here for gold
[01:59.59]
[02:03.05] They're wounded but they just keep on climbing
[02:05.86]
[02:09.04] And sleep by the side of the road
