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
