Lyrics

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
