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 can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
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
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
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
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
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
I saw 13 Going on 30 last night and was amazed to hear Vienna. It was the perfect song for the perfect scene. The Ablum "The Stranger" was released in Sept '77, the year I graduated highschool. The lyrics are insightful, moving and simple, yet powerfully personal. They meant so much to me then and I hope they will touch the hearts of young men and women caught up in the whirlwind of this all too fast paced life. You do have time. Slow down, smell some roses, kiss you family, toss your TV, games, cell phones and live simply. Trust me. Thanks Billy, for all the times your songs save me.
