Everybody Pays As They Go Lyrics - Seeing Things - 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, put 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 

Ooh, ooh 

The playing field is level but it's ugly down below 

It's a devil of a handbook, hi, ho, hi, ho 

Now 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 and nobody can 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

Look up and see the men returning in their winter coats 

Now some of them in one piece and some of them got rolled 

And some less than others, some right through the nose 

But everybody pays as they go 

The young, old, and rich and poor, your mother, she too owes 

'Cuz everybody pays as they go 

Everybody pays 

Yes, everybody pays as they go
