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 to do
And only so many hours in a day, hey

That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

“Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life and a secret life.” ― Gabriel García Marquez

Never live a secret life you’d be afraid to be made public.
