Dog Days Are Over

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and your brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too, oh

Happiness, it hurt like a bullet in the back
Struck from great height
By someone who should know better than that

Dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and your brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone (Here they come)
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come (Here they come)
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone (Here they come)
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
