Congratulations by MGMT
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city (1)__________________ attend demonstrations
It's (2)____________ 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 your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (3)________ 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 (4)________ 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 than 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 start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste
But (5)________ my luck and damn these friends
That keep on (6)______________ back (7)__________ smiles
I save my (8)__________ (9)________ half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and (10)________ up:
