everybody pays as they go

Singer:jakob dylan

i'm worried 'bout you baby

down in your rabbit hole

the evening of our great escape

is starting to unfold

out of bed sleepy head

it's different than you know

everybody pays as they go

now pull yourself together

get your chin up off your throat

now whistle for the dogs

and get your sled into the snow

nothing's ever buried

under skull and bones

everybody pays as they go

the playing field is level

but it's ugly down below

it's a devil of a handbook hi ho

hi ho

either you're the butcher

or the lamb but even so

everybody pays as they go

the future busted open wide and ran like a

beehive loaded with sand

you can't go back and see it

the way you saw it then

nobody can

look up and see the men returning

in their winter coats

now some of them in one piece

an' some of them got rolled

some less than others

some right through the nose

but everybody pays as they go

young

old

an' rich

an' poor

your mother she too owes

cause everybody pays as they go

everybody pays

yes everybody pays as they go
