Dog Days Are Over - Live at the Wiltern / 2010
[Verse 1]
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 a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

[Chorus]
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
Thе dog days are over
The dog days arе done
Can't you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

[Bridge]
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too, oh
[Verse 2]
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back, back, back...
Struck from a great height
By someone who should have known better than that

[Chorus]
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

[Interlude]
Thank you so much for being such an incredible audience
And for showing us such a good time on our last night in LA
We hope we'll see you again real soon
We just have one more favour to ask of you
If you could join us in our little end-of-show ritual
This is the last time
Before we go
We love you, America! Thank you for having us
We'll be back soon
OK, I'm gonna demonstrate
There is goes... One, two, three
Should we try it together? One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two
You got it!
Now when I say "Go!" I want you to do that but keep doing it
As high and for as long as you can, are you with me Los Angeles?
Thank you so much
One, two, three
Go!
[Chorus]
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
Here they come
Here they come
Here they come

[Outro]
Thank you so much, LA
We've been Florence + The Machine
Good night!
See you soon
