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 down, before you burn it down
You have so much to do and only so many hours in a day
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
Why don't you realise, 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
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 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
Why don't you realise, Vienna waits for you.
Slow down, you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
Why don't you realise, 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 realise, Vienna waits for you?
When will you realise, Vienna waits for you?
