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 e-very bubble she sank with a drink
And wa-shed it away down the kitchen sink.
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin' so you better run
Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father
Run for your children all 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
'Cos 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 ba-ck
Struck from a great height
By someone who should have known better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cos here they come
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children all 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
'Cos here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horse-s are co-min'
So you'd better run
The dog days and over
The dog days are done
The horse-s are comin'
So you'd better run
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 e-very bubble she sank with a drink
And wa-shed it away down the kitchen sink.
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin' so you better run
Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father
Run for your children all 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
'Cos here they come
And I- never wanted
anything from you
Except

And what was left after that too Oh!
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the ba-ck

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children all your sisters and brothers
