Vienna Song Lyrics by Billy Joel
Slow down you crazy childYou’re so ambitious for a juvenileBut then if you’re so smart tell meWhy are you still so afraid? (mmmmm)
Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about?You better cool it off before you burn it outYou got so much to do and onlySo many hours in a day (Ay)
But you know that when the truth is toldThat you can get what you wantOr you can just get oldYou’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you’re doing fineYou can’t be everything you want to be before your timeAlthough it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad, but it’s the life you leadYou’re so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you needThough you can see when you’re wrongYou know you can’t always see when you’re right (you’re right)
You got your passion, you got your prideBut don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true (Oooh)When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you crazy childTake the phone off the hook and disappear for a whileIt’s alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is toldThat you can get what you want or you can just get oldYou’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh)Why don’t you realize, Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
