Dog Days Are Over

The months of darkness, the years of blight
might just be behind me, looks like they took flight..
And they should, those times
cause I’ve done no crimes
and I’ve run out of patience for their sulking,
out of tolerance for their fines..
I’m coming to get them, I’m coming for what’s mine!
It won’t be perfect but it’ll be might fine..

Ok, I’ll stop that now.. I just get carried away by this wonderful song, and her whimsically occult video..

“Dog Days Are Over”

by Florence + The Machine


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

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 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, 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 they come

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