I've been sinnin'
and I've been livin'
and I've been beaten
by saturday

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
Its too bad your timing
It just never came

Well I don't know how else to say
In a different way
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?

Ive been dealing
and I've 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
Who's favorite hand
Is one that he will always lend

Well I'm building this levy
by the Mississippi
Before I die in an unmarked grave

Well I don't know how else to say
In a different way
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?

Yeah I don't know how else to say
In a different way
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?
