Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a (1)________ vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city (2)__________________ attend demonstrations
It's hardly a (3)________ or swim
When all is (4)________ if the (5)____________ sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look (6)________ from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And (7)____________ a marble word
But all is lost if it's (8)__________ heard

But I've got (9)______________ to (10)________ reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and (11)________ my plans
So I can't (12)________ 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 (13)________ (14)________ you ignore me
The (15)____________ may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in (16)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You start (17)________ a simple stock of all the waste
And (18)________ to taste

But damn my luck and damn these friends
That (19)________ on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the (20)__________ upon the lawn
Spread my (21)________ and (22)________ up:
Congratulations
