"Vienna" lyrics
"Vienna"
(originally by Billy Joel)
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
Then if you're so smart
Tell me, why are you still so afraid? Mm
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do
Only so many hours in a day, hey
But you know that when the truth is told
You can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, mm
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doin' fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
Though it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight
Too bad that it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself, you forget what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
Know you can't always see when you're right
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, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Mm, no
Hey, yeah
Slow down, you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two, oh
When will you realize
When you gonna realize Vienna waits for you?
Oh, yeah
