Dog Day Afternoon 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 her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sinkThe dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better runRun fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to surviveThe dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they comeAnd 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 head
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than thatThe dog days are over

The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they comeRun fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to surviveThe dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they comeThe dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
