Choose a track to play
I'm worried 'bout you, baby, down in your rabbit hole
The evening of our great escape is starting to unfold
Out of bed, sleepyhead, 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
Ooh, 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
Oh, the future busted open wide and ran
Like a beehive loaded with sand
Now you can't go back and see it the way you saw it then
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
Now, some less than others, some right through the nose
But everybody pays as they go
Young, old, and rich, and poor
Your mother, she too owes
'Cause everybody pays as they go
Everybody pays
Yes, everybody pays as they go
