Dog Days Are over - Florence And The Machine
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 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
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
(Here they come)
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
(Here they come)
The horses are coming so you better run
