I've been sinning I've been livin' I've been beaten By Saturdays On a diamond I lay on a diamond On a diamond I lay awake D'Artagnan Good ol' D'Artagnan He ain't got a thing on me I've been minding To my field of timing Too bad your time in It just never came Well I don't know how else to say it In a diffrent way But why don't you just fade away 'Cause there's a battle going on Down south of Babylon So why don't you just fade away I've been dealing I've been healing I've been dealing A crooked game Thieving pirates I'm thieving pirates Out of gold That they stole from the queen Stole from a man Whose favorite hand Is one that he will always land Well I'm building us a levee By the Mississippi For I'll die In an unmarked grave Well I don't know how else to say it In a diffrent way But why don't you just fade away 'Cause there's a battle going on Down south of Babylon So why don't you just fade away
