Florence & The Machine ~ 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 a drink /
And washed 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 back
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 horses are comin'
So you'd better run /

The dog days and over /
The dog days are done /
The horses are comin' /
So you'd better run
