Lyrics for Song: Vienna
Lyrics for Album: The Stranger
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 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?
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.
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'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.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child.
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while.
It's all right you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
crazy child.

Vienna - Billy Joel
Billy Joel's "Vienna" stands as a defining track from his 1977 album "The Stranger," capturing the melancholic atmosphere of a city in transition. The song explores themes of displacement and the fleeting nature of connection, set against the backdrop of a bustling urban environment. With its distinctive piano-driven arrangement and Joel's signature storytelling, the recording became a staple of his discography, reflecting the post-punk era's introspective mood. The track remains a poignant example of Joel's ability to weave personal narrative with broader social commentary, cementing its place in his catalog of evocative pop-rock and new wave compositions. |
