Billy Joel (+) Vienna

Billy Joel ☆ Vienna

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 wanna be before your time

Although it’s so romantic on the borderline 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 wron

You know, you can’t always see when you’re right

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

When will you realize Vienna waits for you

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

When will you realize Vienna waits for you

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
