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 your brothers

Leave all your love and your loving 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?

'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 great height

Like someone who should know better than that

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 your brothers

Leave all your love and your loving 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?

'Cause here they come

Dog days are over

Dog days are done

Here they come

Here they come

Dog days are over

Dog days are done

Here they come
