Slow down, you crazy child
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, well, tell me
But then if you're so smart, well, tell me
Why are you still so afraid? Mm
Why are you still so afraid? Mmm
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do
You've got so much to do
And only so many hours in a day
And only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
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
You're gonna 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?
Slow down, you're doin' fine
Slow down, you're doin' fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline
Although it's so romantic on the borderline
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know, you can't always see when you're right, you're right
You know, you can't always see when you're right, you're right
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
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
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
