A Song for Friday Night! Back in 1977, my Dad bought me several albums (of course, vinyl then), and Billy Joels The Stranger was one of them. The entire album is superb. While Billy Joel has been a hit-making machine through his career, this song, which was not released as a single (it was the B-side of his single, Shes Always A Woman), Vienna is my favorite by him. Lyric: Slow down, you crazy child Youre so ambitious for a juvenile But then if youre so smart Tell me why are you still so afraid? Wheres the fire, whats the hurry about? Youd better cool it off before you burn it out Youve 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 Youre gonna kick off before you even get halfway through When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, youre doing fine You cant be everything you want to be before your time Although its so romantic on the borderline tonight Tonight Too bad but its the life you lead Youre so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when youre wrong You know you cant always see when youre right. youre right Youve got your passion, youve got your pride But dont you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but dont imagine theyll 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 awhile Its all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old Youre gonna kick off before you even get half through Why dont you realize Vienna waits for you? When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
