    You may be talking about "Der Kommissar" by After The Fire. The band Falco also performs this song.

    Zwei, drei, vier
    One, two, three
    Its easy to see
    But its not that I don't care so
    'Cause I hear it all the time
    But they never let you know
    On the TV and the radio
    She was young her heart was pure
    But every night is bright she got
    She said sugar is sweet
    She come rappin' to the beat
    Then I knew that she was hot

    She was singin'
    Don't turn around, uh-oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh
    You're in his eye
    And you'll know why
    The more you live
    The faster you will die

    Alles klar, Herr Kommissar

    [Instrumental Interlude]

    She said, babe, you know
    I miss Jill and Joe
    And all my funky friends
    But my street understanding
    Was just enough to know what she really meant
    And I got to thinking while she was talking
    That I know she told the story
    Of those special places that she goes
    When she rides with the others in the subway singin'

    Don't turn around, uh-oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh
    And if he talks to you
    And you don't know why
    You say your life
    Is gonna make you die

    Alles klar, Herr Kommissar

    Well, we meet Jill and Joe
    And brother Herr
    And the whole cool gang and, oh
    They're rappin' here they're rappin' there
    But she's climbin' on the wall
    It's a clear case, Herr Kommissar
    'Cause all the children know
    They're all slidin' down into the valley
    They're all slipping on the same snow

    Hear the children
    Don't turn around, uh-oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh
    He's got the power
    And you're so weak
    And you're frustration
    Will not let you speak
    La, la, la, la, la, la

    Don't turn around, uh-oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh
    And if he talks to you
    Then you'll know why
    The more you live
    The faster you will die

    Don't turn around, uh-oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh
    Don't turn around, uh-oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh-oh
    Don't turn around, uh oh
    Der Kommissar's in town, uh oh

    Are you talking about Das Komissar? There are two versions of the song: The well known (popular) one is done by after the fire and the other one (the unpopular version) is done by Falco (of Rock me amadeus fame).

    I don't like the english version from after the fire. It sounds so strange.
    But maybe it's only because I'm growing up with the falco version

    Same here.

    But the interesting thing is: he clearly writes "the ... is back in town", while the song goes "The Kommissar's in town".
    That can't be just a coincidence...?
