Verse 1

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 better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day  

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 
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Verse 2

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 ri - ight

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 
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Instrumental

Chorus

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 
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 
Why don't you realize
Vienna waits for you
