Congratulations by MGMT

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

Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from (2)________ temple
As people endeavor to (3)________ it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got (4)______________ to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my plans
So I can't (5)________ 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 than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I (6)________ my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (7)________ Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But (8)________ my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay (9)________ the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
