Lyrics of Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine
verse
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
chorus
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 are they come
verse
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
chorus
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 are they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
