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
Whistle for the dogs
And get your sled into the snow
Nothing's ever buried
Under skull and bones
Everybody pays as they go.
Oooh, oooh, oooh
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
Nobody can
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
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 pas as they go
Everybody pays as they go
Yes everybody pays as they go
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
Whistle for the dogs
And get your sled into the snow
Nothing's ever buried
Under skull and bones
Everybody pays as they go.
Oooh, oooh, oooh
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

Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
