Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But if you're so smart, then 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 the end awaits 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 where you're wrong You know you can't always see when you're right You're right You got your passion, you got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied A dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize the end awaits for you? Slow down, you crazy child And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while It's alright, you can't afford to lose a day or two When will you realize the end awaits for you? And 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 the end awaits for you? Why won't you realize The end awaits for you? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
