Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials attend demonstrations
It's hardly a (1)________ or swim
When all is (2)________ if the ticket sells

Out (3)________ a whimper
It's not a (4)__________ of glory
You look down (5)________ (6)________ temple
As people (7)________________ to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got someone to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my plans
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big:
Congratulations

I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve (8)________ have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You (9)__________ with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing (10)________ their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
