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