Vienna
By Billy Joel

Write the missing words on the lines. All the missing words rhyme with the words in bold. (You will write the word you three times.)

juvenile     need     old     out     satisfied     time     while     you

Slow down, you crazy child.
You’re so ambitious for a ____________________.
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 ____________________.
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 ____________________.
You’re gonna kick off¹ before you even get halfway through.
When will you realize Vienna waits for ____________________?

Slow down, you’re doing fine.
You can’t be everything you want to be before your ____________________
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 ____________________.
Though you can see when 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 ____________________?
Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true.
When will you realize, Vienna waits for ____________________?

Slow down, you crazy child,
Take the phone off the hook² and disappear for a ____________________.
It’s alright, you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize Vienna waits for ____________________?

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.
Why don’t you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

¹In this song,”kick off” means die or quit permanently.
²“take the phone off the hook” = turn off your phone
