Analysis of Vienna (Austria) I lived there for ages
Onion breath from onion heads
Split mattress on too short beds
Stalled pedestrians at red light
Without a truck or car in sight
Past glory five storeys high
New stuff glass to mix with sky
Back turned to East European scene
Immigrants only good to lick streets clean
Music scratched from Mozart's bones
Underground reeks of used cell phones
Old Nazi's smile on teeth of gold
Careful not to tell tales of old
Posters advertise live sex
Peep shows for female genital flex
Monotonous voices always loud
Monotone choices for most of crowd
