Happiness, it hurt 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 |
|
The dog days are over |
|
The dog days are done |
|
The horses are coming |
|
So you better run |
|
Run fast for your mother and 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 love 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 gone |
|
Can you hear the horses |
|
'Cause here they come |
|
Run fast for your mother and 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 love with you if you want to survive |
|
The dog days are over |
|
The dog days are gone |
|
Can you hear the horses |
|
'Cause here they come |
|
The dog days are over |
|
The dog days are gone |
|
The horses are coming |
|
So you better run |
