Third single off "Falco 3" and the follow up to his Top 20 hit "Vienna Calling".
With all the Falco ad-nauseum reissues, I am still shocked that the 'English single version' (actual name: 'English Version Special Radio Edit') has yet to be issued on CD format.
Yes, the song is rather disturbing, but it's also brilliant. Frustratingly, even though Falco 'raps' on both the original German single version and English single version, the English lyrics ARE NOT a direct translation. Not counting the chorus, sung in English on all versions, only the 'Newsflash' middle eight is a direct translation.
As far as I know the English Version Special Radio Edit has yet to be issued outside of the vinyl maxi / vinyl single, although the English Extended Version is widely available on CD format.

It's cold, we must get out of here, come
Your lipstick is smeared
You bought it and I saw it
Too much red on your lips
You said 'Leave me alone'
But I saw right through you
The eyes say more than words can
You need me, don't you?
Everybody knows that we're together from now on
I can hear them now... they are coming!
They are coming to get you!
They won't find you!
Nobody will ever find you!
You're with me!

Curiously, an Argentine released a Spanish version of the song; it's a direct translation.

I am actually having trouble finding the English
Extended Version on CD. The German Extended Version
seems to be the most common. Do you know where I can
find the English Extended Version? Also, can the English
Version Special Radio Edit be re-created from the
English Extended Version?
