Collector of autographs
Names upon photographs
Faces of people who everyone knows
Rüdiger lives in a place on his own
Briefcase and spectacles
Strange and respectable
He knows the meaning of being alone
Rüdiger works as a clerk in the town
Music or politics
Rüdiger gets his kicks
He gets information then he comes around
Rüdiger 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
Rüdiger waits in the dark by the stair
His fingers are shaking
His feet they are aching
But your name's in the paper so Rüdiger's there
Rüdiger stands in the rain and the snow Collector of autographs Names upon photographs Faces of people who everyone knows Rüdiger lives in a place on his own Briefcase and spectacles Strange and respectable He knows the meaning of being alone Rüdiger works as a clerk in the town Music or politics Rüdiger gets his kicks He gets information then he comes around Rüdiger 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 Rüdiger waits in the dark by the stair His fingers are shaking His feet they are aching But your name's in the paper so Rüdiger's there Explain Request ×
