I been sinning And I been livin' And I 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 It's too bad your time in It just never came Well I don't know how else to say it In a different way But why don't you just fade away 'Cause there's a battle goin on Down south of Babylon So why don't you just fade away
I've been dealing And I been healing And 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 lack Well I'm building this levee By the Mississippi Or I'll die in an unmarked bay Well I don't know how else to say In a different way But why don't you just fade away 'Cause there's a battle goin on Down south of Babylon So why don't you just fade away
