Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials (1)____________ demonstrations
It's hardly a (2)________ 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 (3)________ temple
As (4)____________ (5)________________ to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (6)________ if it's never heard

But I've got someone 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 than (7)________ you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I (8)________ my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn (9)__________________ and Baldwins
You (10)__________ 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
