about

1988 from the album „Out Of Control“. The english version of "Der Traummann". Previously unreleased
recorded by Tom Krüger at MTS-Studio, Albstadt

lyrics

The wind howls in the windows
mom and dad recline
The kids are tucked in bed
and on TV: crime time
Millions of good citizens
lock up their houses tight
For fear of the strangler
and other creatures of the night

Mrs. White stretches out her legs
justice in her heart
Her husband feels the same
the world’s falling apart

John Walsh, the dreamman
of every housewife
comes to your house after dark
For tips that lead to conviction
he scripples out a reward

The F.B.I. faces riddles
false leads hot on the trail
The bad guys that are caught
the end of the story will tell
John describes in details
how crime doesn’t pay
The criminal gets tracked-down
and the law has its day

Tuesday first of May
Mr. Gold opens shop
He has the dowager’s diamond broach
His business is top-notch

John Walsh, the hypocrite
self-deluded
comes to your house after dark
For tips that lead to conviction
he scripples you a reward

Mr. Gold is out of luck
he lies in a pool of blood
Mrs. White grabs her Coor’s
and now gets really mad
With a sudden stroke of brilliance
she thinks of the man downstairs
This guy stays in bed all day
and dyes his hair bright green
He’s obviously degenerate
The worst she’s ever seen

John Walsh has helpers
for law and order
comes to your house after dark
For tips that lead to conviction
he scripples out a reward

The police, quick as lightning
Mrs. White gets on the phone
they get there in an instant
and knock the suspect down
Mr. And Mrs. White
earn their 15 hundred bucks
Vacation in Miami
with the kids – what a luck
