Florence + The Machine "Dog Days Are Over" Songtext

Dog Days Are Over

Happiness hit her like a train on a trackComing towards her stuck still no turning backShe hid around corners and she hid under bedsShe killed it with kisses and from it she fledWith every bubble she sank with her drinkAnd washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneThe horses are comingSo you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your fatherRun for your children, for your sisters and brothersLeave all your loving, your loving behindYou cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from youExcept everything you had and what was left after that too, ohHappiness hit her like a bullet in the headStruck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your fatherRun for your children, for your sisters and brothersLeave all your loving, your loving behindYou cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here they come

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneThe horses are comingSo you better run
