[Verse 1]
Slow down, crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But if you're so smart, tell me why is you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry 'bout?
Better cool it off before you burn it out
So much to do, only so many hours in a day, hey

[Chorus]
You know when the truth is told
You can get what you want, you can just get old
Gonna kick off 'fore you even get halfway through, ooh
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

[Verse 2]
Slow down, you're doin' fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Though it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight, night
Too bad, it's the life you lead
So ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
You can see when you're wrong
You know, can't always see when you're right. you're right, right

[Chorus]
Got your passion, got your pride
Don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
[Outro]
Slow down, 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
