Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a (1)________ vacation
The (2)________ and daughters
Of (3)________ officials attend 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 (4)________ down from your temple
As (5)____________ (6)________________ to (7)________ it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard

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

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

The (19)____________________ is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (20)________ Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and damn these friends
That (21)________ on combing back (22)__________ smiles
I save my (23)__________ (24)________ half-assed guilt
And lay (25)________ the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and (26)________ up:
Congratulations
