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 her 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 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

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 back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over

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

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

The dog days are over

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