Congratulations by MGMT

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

Out with a whimper
It's not a (4)__________ of glory
You look down from your temple
As (5)____________ (6)________________ 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 make reports
That (9)________ me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my plans
So I can't (10)________ what's (11)____________ there
And all I need's a great big:
Congratulations

I'll (12)________ your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather (13)________________ than (14)________ you (15)____________ me
The (16)____________ may be moving fast
But I tied my (17)__________ to a (18)____________ mast

The difference is clear
You (19)__________ it in (20)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple (21)__________ of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and damn (22)__________ friends
That (23)________ on combing back (24)__________ smiles
I save my grace (25)________ half-assed guilt
And lay down the (26)__________ (27)________ the lawn
Spread my arms and (28)________ up:
Congratulations
