| 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
|
| 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, back, 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 gone
|
| Can you hear the horses?
|
| 'Cause here they come
|
| The dog days are over
|
| The dog days are gone
|
| Can you hear the horses?
|
| 'Cause here they come |
