Vienna - Billy Joel

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad but it's the life you lead

You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right

You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child and take the phone off the hook
And disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you.

But you know that when the truth is told

That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Why don’t you realize
Vienna waits for you
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you.
