Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city (1)__________________ attend demonstrations
It's hardly a sink or swim
When all is (2)________ if the ticket sells

Out (3)________ a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people (4)________________ to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's (5)__________ heard

But I've got (6)______________ to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw 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 (7)________ have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I (8)________ my boots to a (9)____________ mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (10)________ 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 keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
