Diamonds and Gold — текст песни (Tom Waits)

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
