[Verse 1]
Sally, things close early
It's a holiday they tell me
How long have you lived here?
Have you seen the river?

[Chorus]
Do you know the proper way
To ask for a cigarette?
I'm asking before winter comes
Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Stay here with me 'til morning
With the three-man orchestra playing
I ask a fortune teller
What they whisper when I walk by

[Chorus]
Do you know the proper way
To ask for a cigarette?
I'm asking before winter comes
Oh-oh

[Outro]
All the people run from the horizon
All the people run from the horizon
All the people run from the horizon
All the people run from the horizon
All the people run from the horizon
Staying late, waking late, on the horizon
All the people run from the horizon
