Happiness, hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back She hit around corners and she hit under beds She killed it with kisses and for a minute 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 for brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can 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 for everything you had and what was left after that too Happiness, I hit her like a bullet in the back Struck from above at great heights By someone who should have thought better having been 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 for brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can 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 Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come The dog days are over, the dog days are done Can you hear the horses? Cause here they come Cause here they come
