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
