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