Happiness it hurt
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
and your sisters
and brothers
Leave all your love
and your loving
behind you
Can t carry it with
you if you want
to survive
The dog days
are over
the dog days
are done
Can t you hear
the horses
Cuz here they come
And I never wanted
anything from you
Except everything
you had
and what was
left after that
too oh
Happiness it hurt
like a bullet
in the mind
Stuck them up
drainpipes
by someone who
should know
better than that
The dog days
are over
The dog days
are gone
can you hear
the horses
Cuz here they come
Run fast for
your mother and
fast for your father
Run for your children
for your sisters
and brothers
Leave all your love
and your loving
behind you
Can t carry it with
you if you want
to survive
The dog days
are over
The dog days
are gone
Can you hear
the horses because
here they come
The dog days
are over
The dog days
are gone
The horses are
coming so you
better run
