Vienna (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, December, 1977)
Thank you
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart
Well, tell me why are you 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
Hey
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
Ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna 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
Ooh
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
Ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
As 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
Ooh
So, why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart
Well, tell me why are you 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
Hey
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
Ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna 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
Ooh
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
Ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
As 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
Ooh
So, why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
