vienna // 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?

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 get old.
you’re gonna kick off before you even
get halfway through.
when will you realize, vienna waits for you?
