tina
happiness hit her
like a train on a track
mercedes
coming towards her
stuck still no turning back
tina
she hid around corners
and she hid under beds
mercedes
she killed it with kisses
and from it she fled
tina
with every bubble
she sank with a drink
mercedes
and washed it away
down the kitchen sink
tina
the dog days are over
the dog days are done
the horses are comin’
so you better run
mercedes tina with new directions
run fast for your mother run fast for your father
run for your children for your sisters and your 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
tina
and i never wanted
anything from you
except everything you had
and what was left after that too
oh
mercedes tina new directions
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
mercedes tina
run fast for your mother run fast for your father
run for your children for your sisters and your brothers
leave all your love and your longing behind
you can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
mercedes tina with new directions
the dog days are over
the dog days are done
can you hear the horses
’cause here they come
new directions mercedes tina new directions
the dog days are over
the dog days are done here they come
the horses are comin’ so you’d better run here they come
the dog days and over
the dog days are done here they come
the horses are comin’ so you’d better run
