The Dog Days are Over!

[lost_dryad]

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 and 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 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 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 they come.

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
The horses are coming
So you better run.

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

Florence and the Machine.
