Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city 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 look down from (1)________ temple
As (2)____________ endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (3)________ if it's never heard

But I've got someone to make reports
That (4)________ me how my money's spent
To (5)________ 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 than have you ignore me
The ground may be (6)____________ fast
But I tied my (7)__________ 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 (8)________ 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 (9)________ my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
