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.
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
Happiness / hit her / like a bullet in the back
Struck from /a great height
The dog days are over /
The dog days are done /
Can you hear the horses/
'Cos here they come
