Jakob Dylan Everybody Pays As They Go Lyrics

Everybody Pays As They Go Lyrics

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



You've got to pull yourself together

Your chin up off your throat

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

Some of them in one
piece

Some of them got rolled

Some less than others 

Some
right through the nose

But everybody pays as they go

Young old rich
and poor

Your mother she too owes



Cuz everybody pays as they
go
