Dog Days Are Over (Live BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall / 2024)

[Verse 1]

And 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

[Pre-Chorus]

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run

[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

Thе dog days are over

The dog days arе done

Can 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

Struck from a great height

By someone who should have known better than that

[Pre-Chorus]

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

[Interlude]

Now if you've been coming since Lungs

You really just know what to do here, don't you?

Does everybody know they're gonna put their phones away now?

And be with each other in this room?

And then you know what to do, right? When the song, yeah

You've got it

[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
