Dog Days Are Over (The Voice Performance)

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 her drink
And washed it away
Down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over, done
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

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

The dog days are over, done
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 hit her like a bullet
In the head struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over, done
The dog days are done
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 brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over, done
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
Because here they come

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