I’m not sure I like the lyrics
in this so much as I like the tune.  (Maybe someday I’ll go to the
trouble of putting music on my site, eh?)

Slow down you crazy child

You’re so ambitious for a juvenile


But then if you’re so smart tell me why


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 an 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


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




But you know you can’t always see when you’re right


You got your passion you 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.

Vienna, Billy Joel

  1. Yes, that was the last time we were together.  That was the year that D&D got married.  Now they are old people with two babies.   
    The problem with walking is the lack of windshield wipers on glasses.
