Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The (1)________ and daughters
Of city officials (2)____________ demonstrations
It's hardly a (3)________ or swim
When all is well if the (4)____________ sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look (5)________ from (6)________ temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a (7)____________ word
But all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got (8)______________ to (9)________ reports
That (10)________ me how my money's spent
To book my (11)__________ and draw my plans
So I can't (12)________ what's really there
And all I need's a (13)__________ big:
Congratulations

I'll (14)________ (15)________ dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd (16)____________ dissolve than have you ignore me
The (17)____________ 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 (18)________ to taste

But (19)________ my luck and damn (20)__________ friends
That keep on combing back (21)__________ smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay (22)________ the (23)__________ upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
