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 (1)________ if the ticket sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You (2)________ down from (3)________ temple
As people (4)________________ to (5)________ it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got (6)______________ to (7)________ reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and (8)________ my plans
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a (9)__________ big:
Congratulations

I'll keep (10)________ dreams
You pay attention for me
As (11)______________ as it seems
I'd (12)____________ (13)________________ than have you ignore me
The (14)____________ may be (15)____________ fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You (16)__________ it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (17)________ Steinways and Baldwins
You (18)__________ with a (19)____________ stock of all the waste
And (20)________ to taste

But damn my luck and damn (21)__________ friends
That (22)________ on (23)______________ back their smiles
I (24)________ my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and (25)________ up:
Congratulations
