Vienna- Billy Joel Lyrics
[Verse
1]
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, hmm?
Where's
the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd
better cool it off before you burn it out
You've
got so much to do and only so many hours in a day-ay
[Chorus]
But
you know that when the truth is told
That
you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're
gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
When
will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
[Verse
2]
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're
right
[Chorus
2]
You've
got your passion, you've 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?
[Instrumental]
[Chorus
3]
Slow
down, you crazy child
And
take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's
all right, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
When
will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
[Chorus
4]
And
you know that when the truth is told
That
you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're
gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
Why
don't you realize, Vienna waits for you?
When
will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
