Lyrics

Thank you Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart Well, 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 Hey But you know that when the truth is told 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 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 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 all right, you can afford to lose a day or two Ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? As you know that when the truth is told You can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through Ooh So, why don't you realize Vienna waits for you? When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
