Dog Days Are Over

[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

[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?

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?

Here they come

[Chorus]

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 wanna survive

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can you hear the horses?

Here they come

[Outro]

(The dog days are over)

Yeah, yeah (The dog days are done)

(The horses are coming)

Oh (So you better run)

Here they come (The dog days are over)

(The dog days are done)

Yeah, yeah, yeah (The horses are coming)

So you better run
