The dog days are overThe dog days are doneThe horses are comingSo you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your fatherRun for your children, for your sisters and brothersLeave all your loving, your loving behindYou can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are overThe dog days are doneCan you hear the horses?'Cause here they come

And I never _________anything from youExcept everything you _________and what was left after that too, ohHappiness _________her like a bullet in the backStruck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
