Dog Days Are Over - Live at the Wiltern / 2010

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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 love and your longing behind

You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

Thе dog days are over

The dog days arе done

Can't you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

[Bridge]

And I never wanted anything from you

Except everything you had

And what was left after that too, oh

[Verse 2]

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back, back, back...

Struck from a great height

By someone who should have known better than that

[Chorus]

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

[Interlude]

Thank you so much for being such an incredible audience

And for showing us such a good time on our last night in LA

We hope we'll see you again real soon

We just have one more favour to ask of you

If you could join us in our little end-of-show ritual

This is the last time

Before we go

We love you, America! Thank you for having us

We'll be back soon

OK, I'm gonna demonstrate

There is goes... One, two, three

Should we try it together? One, two, three

One, two, three

One, two

You got it!

Now when I say "Go!" I want you to do that but keep doing it

As high and for as long as you can, are you with me Los Angeles?

Thank you so much

One, two, three

Go!

[Chorus]

Run fast for your mother, run 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

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

Here they come

Here they come

Here they come

[Outro]

Thank you so much, LA

We've been Florence + The Machine

Good night!

See you soon
