Good song.
The song was written as a reaction to the growing use of hard drugs in Vienna. In 1980, Falco arrived at a Drahdiwaberl rehearsal with his music and lyrics for “Ganz Wien (… ist heut auf Heroin)” (“All of Vienna [… is high on heroin today]”).
Indeed, thanks for the historical note Rolando. The lyrics in english are like this (deepl.com translation)
He walks on the street
Don’t say where
His brain full of heavy metal
And his liver is dead
His veins are open
And smell like formalin
It’s all very distressing
Like he is in Vienna
All of Vienna
Is on heroin today
All of Vienna
Dreams with Mozambin
All of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna
Also takes cocaine
In the ball season at all
You can see all of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna
Is so wonderfully there, there, there
Cocaine and codeine
Heroin and mozambine
Make us go, go, go
There, there, one, two, three
Cocaine and codeine
Heroin and mozambine
Make us go, go, go, go, go
Three, four
