Lyrics
The broken glass and the rusty nails
Where the wild violets grow
Say goodbye to the railroad, 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 climbing
And they 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 in the meadow, the hills are green
Sing me a rainbow and steal me a dream
Small-time Napoleon shattered his knees
But he stays in the saddle for old
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 climbing
And they 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 in the meadow, the hills are green
Sing me a rainbow and steal me a dream
Some men
Gold, yeah
