Wake up in the dead of night dogs are turning wild run into what's wrong each time fail to get it right fighting off this heavy heart keeping your head high oh won't you please forget won't you please forget CHORUS these are the dog days these are the dog days leading our hearts astray these are the dog days these are the dog days soon they will fade away one, two, three, four what are you waiting for? one, two, three, four what are you waiting for? these are the dog days these are the dog days awakened by the dreams at night chills run down your spine the brightest star in summer skies brings madness to our minds fighting off the darkest thoughts fighting to survive oh won't you please forget oh won't you please forget CHORUS embracing the highs to fight the lows running down the path that I think I need to go when you think you've won, you're still losing after all these are dog days, these are the dog days CHORUS these are the dog days, these are the dog days! these are the dog days, these are the dog days! these are the dog days, these are the dog days! these are the dog days
