Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a (1)________ vacation
The (2)________ and daughters
Of (3)________ officials attend demonstrations
It's (4)____________ a sink or swim
When all is (5)________ if the ticket sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You (6)________ down (7)________ (8)________ 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 (9)______________ to (10)________ reports
That (11)________ me how my money's spent
To book my stays and (12)________ my plans
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a (13)__________ big:
Congratulations

I'll (14)________ (15)________ dreams
You pay (16)__________________ for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather (17)________________ (18)________ have you (19)____________ me
The ground may be (20)____________ fast
But I tied my (21)__________ 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 (22)________ my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the (23)__________ (24)________ the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
