Why Vienna? Lyrics - 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 are 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 

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Too bad but it's the life you lead 

You're so ahead of yourself that you forget what you need 

Though you can see when you're wrong 

You know you can't always see when you're right 

You've got your passion, you've got your pride 

But don't you know 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 

Take the phone off the hook and disappeaar for a while 

It's alright 

You can afford to lose a day or two 

When will you realize... 

Vienna waits for you.
