Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

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? Mm.

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. Hey.

Chorus:
     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 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:
     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. Ooh.
     When will you realize
     Vienna waits for you?

     Slow down, you crazy child
     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.
     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?
