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 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 are 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
