Rdiger stands in the rain and the snow
Collector of autographs
Names upon photographs
Faces of people who everyone knows

Rdiger lives in a place on his own
Briefcase and spectacles
Strange and respectable
He knows the meaning of being alone

Rdiger works as a clerk in the town
Music or politics
Rdiger gets his kicks
He gets information then he comes around

Rdiger waits at the hall in berlin
He waits there all night
Securitys tight
They know who he is but they dont let him in

Rdiger waits in the dark by the stair
His fingers are shaking
His feet they are aching
But your names in the paper so rdigers there
