About Auf der Flucht

"Auf der Flucht" (also known as "On the Run") is a 1982 song by Falco. Under the title "On The Run (Auf Der Flucht)" it was released as a double A-side promotional single in France, Canada and the US. It was produced in 1981 in Berlin, Germany, by Robert Ponger. On the other side of the single, there is another song called "Maschine brennt", the double A-side single "On the Run / Maschine brennt" peaked at number nine in the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. In European countries (except France), the single wasn't released as a double A-side, which meant the next single after "Der Kommissar" became "Maschine brennt" instead (that didn't include "Auf der Flucht") in case of Falco's home country Austria. In Austria and Norway, the song peaked at number four in the official charts. In Germany, it reached number ten, in Spain number 34, and in the Netherlands number 49.

West berlin neunzehnhundert-sechzig-sieben 
Erster eindruck, grüne minna 
Strassensperre gegen spinner 
Habt ihr bock auf ne tract prügel 
Wir bedienen euch nicht übel, aha 
Ecke joachimstaler kudamm ein exzess 
Wer das gas als letztler riecht 
Hat als erster den prozess 

Ganz berlin is eine wolke 
Und man sieht sich wieder mal auf der flucht 
Aus aus ausbruch auf der flucht 
Zürich limmatquai neunzehnhundert-achzig-zwei 
Alles is in ordnung, nichts am platz 
Ein ende hat s mit dem rabatz 
Gewonnen hat die steuer 
Und am seeufer kein feuer 

Das fazit aus fünfzehen jahren 
Die kontrolle zu bewahren 
Elde werte zu geniessen 
Seht mal wohin gelder fliessen 
Schmeisst die rockrabauken raus 
Und renoviert das opernhaus, aha 
Was die ordnung anbelangt 
Hat sich alles gott sie dank 

Fast wie ganz von selbst ergeben 
Denn die starke hand siegt eben 
Hält die märchenwelt beisammen 
Und die räuber sind gefangen, aha 
Für die zukunft sei gesagt 
Sicher kommt mal wer und fragt 
Was die jungwähler so denken 
Über kräfte die sie lenken 
Schwere wolken, donnerschlag 
Und wer sieht sich da jetzt auf der flucht 
Auf der flucht
