Congratulations by MGMT
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city (1)__________________ (2)____________ 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

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 (7)________ me how my money's spent
To book my (8)__________ and (9)________ my plans
So I can't (10)________ what's really there
And all I need's a great big:

The (12)____________ may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
The (13)____________________ is clear
You throw it in (14)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn (15)__________________ and Baldwins
You (16)__________ with a (17)____________ (18)__________ of all the waste
And salt to taste
But (19)________ my luck and (20)________ (21)__________ friends
That keep on combing (22)________ their smiles
I save my grace (23)________ half-assed guilt
And lay down the (24)__________ (25)________ the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
