Lyrics
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 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't 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 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 done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Dog Days Are Over Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
shufflefarm discusses the meanings of Dog Days Are Over lyrics: Happiness is not always a welcome visitor. For those who live long in misery and hardship, it can be treated with suspicion as it a herald of the unknown. When you are in the depths, there is a predictability to your situation. There is familiarity and surety in continued wretchedness; security in knowing that things will not change, they will remain grim, and hard and despondent. One can be prepared for that and be resigned to it, however deplorable that situation remains for that person. Acceptance saves you from the mustering and expending of precious energy on a continued and most likely futile struggle. However, things are changing for the subject of the song. "Happiness hit her Like a train on a track Coming towards her Stuck, still no turning back" For what is most likely the first time, in a long time, happiness has burst inexorably and explosively into their life. Now, that person had so much more potentially to deal with: in
