Slow down, you crazy childYou're so ambitious for a juvenileBut then if you're so smart, well, tell meWhy are you still so afraid? MmWhere's the fire, what's the hurry about?You'd better cool it off before you burn it outYou've got so much to doAnd only so many hours in a dayBut 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, oohWhen will you realize Vienna waits for you?Slow down, you're doin' fineYou can't be everything you wanna be before your timeAlthough it's so romantic on the borderlineTonight, tonightToo 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 rightYou've got your passion, you've got your prideBut don't you know that only fools are satisfied?Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, oohWhen will you realize Vienna waits for you?Slow down, you crazy childAnd take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhileIt's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, oohWhen 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, oohWhy don't you realize Vienna waits for you?When will you realize Vienna waits for you?Lyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFindBy: Billy JoelLyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Intro

Slow down, you crazy child

Verse

You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, well, 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've 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, ooh
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
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
You've got your passion, you've got your pride

Chorus

But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh

Instrumental

When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child

Verse

And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
And 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, ooh
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
