Leave the bureau in the snow
Catch a tram to Onkel Pö
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
And smoke a cigarette
And listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)

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 nowhеre else to go

You throw off your coat
Pick up my notе
Put another coffee on
Lie down on the bed
Lay back your head
Smoke another cigarette
And listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
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 (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
We'll listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Listen to the radio (whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
All night long
