"Vienna" lyrics
(originally by Billy Joel)
Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart
Why are you still so afraid? Mmm
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 so many hours in a day, ay
You know that when the truth is told
You can get what you want or you can just get old
Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
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
So ahead of yourself you forgot what you need
You see when you're wrong
You can't always see when you're right, you're right
Got your passion, you got your pride
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?
You know that when the truth is told
You can get what you want or you can just get old
Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart
Why are you still so afraid? Mmm
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 so many hours in a day, ay
You know that when the truth is told
You can get what you want or you can just get old
Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
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
So ahead of yourself you forgot what you need
You see when you're wrong
You can't always see when you're right, you're right
Got your passion, you got your pride
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?
You know that when the truth is told
You can get what you want or you can just get old
Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
