Vienna

Lyrics

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? (mmmmm)
 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 (Ay)
 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 (Oooh)
 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
 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 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 (Oooh)
 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 alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
 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 (oooh)
 Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you?
 When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
