Vienna Lyrics

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'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much...

I think that this song is giving a lesson and realizing things you never thought were true - B (6th)
I think when it says "slow down you crazy child. You're so ambitious for a juvenile," I think it means that you shouldn't be in a hurry to grow up - D (6th)
I think Vienna is a girl that Billy loves - J (6th)
I think the song means to have fun and experience life before you grow old and in the part where it says "Vienna waits for you" it means that if you want to go home that there's people waiting for you. - E (6th)
When it says "slow down you're doing fine," I think it means this child keeps wanting to be everything at the same time, but someone is telling him its not possible - K (6th)
Vienna is a metaphor for: mother; grandmother; girlfriends; A place in life where you have achieved your goals.
