Leave the bureau in the snow Catch a tram to Onkel Poe Early evening ring around the moon Slip in by the concierge By the bikes and up the stairs Snap the latch and creep into the room
Throw off your coat, pick up the post And put a coffee on Lie down on the bed, lay back your head Smoke a cigarette
And listen to the radio... Listen to the radio
In the city late tonight Double feature, black and white 'Bitter Tears' and 'Taxi to the Klo' Find a bar, avoid a fight Show your papers, be polite Walking home with nowhere else to go
You throw off your coat, pick up my note Put another coffee on Lie down on the bed, lay back your head Smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio... Listen to the radio
Atmospherics after dark Noise and voices from the past Across the dial from Moscow to Cologne Interference in the night Thousand miles on either side Stations fading into the unknown
So throw off your coat, butter some toast Put another coffee on We'll lie down on the bed, lay back our heads Smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio... Listen to the radio We'll listen to the radio... Listen to the radio All night long...
