R¨¹diger stands in the rain and the snow

Collector of autographs

Names upon photographs

Faces of people who everyone knows



R¨¹diger lives in a place on his own

Briefcase and spectacles

Strange and respectable

He knows the meaning of being alone



R¨¹diger works as a clerk in the town

Music or politics

R¨¹diger gets his kicks

He gets information then he comes around



R¨¹diger 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¨¹diger 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¨¹diger's there
