R ü diger stands in the rain and the snow

Collector of autographs

Names upon photographs

Faces of people who everyone knows

R ü diger lives in a place on his own

Briefcase and spectacles

Strange and respectable

He knows the meaning of being alone

R ü diger R ü diger

R ü diger R ü diger

R ü diger works as a clerk in the town

Music or politics

R ü diger gets his kicks

He gets information then he comes around

R ü diger R ü diger

R ü diger R ü diger

R ü diger waits at the hall in Berlin

He waits there all night

Security's tight

They know who he is but they don't let him in

R ü diger waits in the dark by the stair

His fingers are shaking

His feet they are aching

But your name's in the paper so R ü diger's there

R ü diger R ü diger R ü diger R ü diger

R ü diger R ü diger R ü diger R ü diger
