Congratulations by MGMT
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The (1)________ and daughters
Of city officials attend demonstrations
It's hardly a sink or swim
When all is (2)________ if the ticket sells
Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down (3)________ your temple
As people endeavor 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 (4)________ me how my money's spent
To book my stays and (5)________ 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 (6)______________ as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be (7)____________ fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
The difference is clear
You throw it in (8)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (9)________ Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste
But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay (10)________ the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
