Song Post: "Vienna"

Ever since "Piano Man" and "New York State of Mind", I've loved Billy Joel's songs. And when I heard "Vienna", I just fell in love with it. It's probably the most underrated song… ever. It's from his album called "The Stranger".

Here's a YouTube link. I hope you get to simply appreciate this wonderful song, if not love it as much as I do.

"Vienna"
Billy Joel

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 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
And take the phone off the hook
And disappear for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize… Vienna waits for you
