Happiness / hit her / like a train on a tra-ck
Coming towards her / stuck still / no turning ba-ck
She hid around corners / and she hid under beds /
She killed it with kisses and from it she fl-ed /
With e-very bubble she sank with a drink /
And wa-shed it away down the kitchen sink.
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are comin' so you better run
Run fast for your mother; run fast for your father /
Run for your children all 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 ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
Can you hear the horse-s/
'Cos here they come
And I- never wanted /
anything from yo-u /
Except /
e-verything / you had
And / what was left after that too / Oh!

Happiness / hit her / like a bullet in the ba-ck
Struck from /a great height
By someone /who should have known be-tte-r / than tha-t
The dog days are ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
Can you hear the horses /
'Cos here they co-me
Run fast for your mother / run fast for your father
Run for your children all 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 ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
Can you hear the horse-s/
'Cos here they co-me/
The dog days are ove-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
The horse-s are co-min'
So you'd better ru-n /
The dog days and over-r /
The dog days are do~ne /
The horse-s are co-mi -n' /
So you'd better ru--n

I first heard the pure primal voice, shouting that the bad, dull days were gone, and I danced.. Then, she ran and warned of danger, to leave all behind, get my family and flee, and I ran. That voice surely compels me.

my opinion
blessing AimeeBH! responding to zonalgman92: songs, music as all mediums; in this worlds reality; are open to the preservers perspective. All is a message for whom needs it... to you it is about alcoholism...and to another love, and to another to keep on surviving..and so on...there is right or wrong...are you the only one who feels its about alcholism? this would be impossible. we are all connected. blessings of love for the highest good.

I am divorcing my husband after 10 agonizing years, but blessedly with two precious, amazing daughters to show for it. This song has given me so much strength it is unbelievable. Seriously, it is constantly in my head. Our relationship was so emotionally abusive and I spent a good deal of it drinking myself numb. To me this song represents leaving sadness, unhappiness and hiding behind. Having the strength to move on. The strength to remain sober (16 months and counting!). Running as fast as I never knew I could back into the light, back into happiness. That barely scratches the surface of how this song has affected me. It is truly magical! Thank you Florence & the Machine!!!
