[00:00.00]MGMT - Congratulations
[00:02.00]
[00:04.00]
[00:14.50]
[00:16.37]Dead in the water
[00:19.41]It's not a paid vacation
[00:23.66]The sons and daughters of city officials
[00:28.05]Attend demonstrations
[00:31.62]It's hardly a sink or swim
[00:34.33]When all is well if the ticket sells
[00:39.03]
[00:46.78]Out with a wimper
[00:50.27]It's not a blaze of glory
[00:54.22]You look down from your temple
[00:57.00]As people endeavor to make it a story
[01:01.52]And chisel a marble word
[01:05.01]But all is lost if it's never heard
[01:09.57]
[01:16.64]But I've got someone to make reports
[01:20.48]That tell me how my money's spent
[01:24.47]To book my stays and draw my blinds
[01:28.17]So I can't tell what's really there
[01:32.35]And all I need's a great big congratulations
[01:38.39]
[01:47.00]
[01:51.10]I'll keep your dreams
[01:55.47]You pay attention for me
[01:59.55]As strange as it seems
[02:02.13]I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
[02:07.22]The ground may be moving fast
[02:10.23]But I tied my boots to a broken mast
[02:14.93]
[02:22.67]The difference is clear
[02:26.46]You throw it in your cauldron
[02:30.45]Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
[02:34.50]Steinways and Baldwins
[02:38.29]You start with a simple stock of all the waste
[02:43.09]And salt to taste
[02:45.62]
[02:53.08]But damn my luck and damn these friends
[02:56.60]That keep on combing back their smiles
[03:00.64]I save my grace with half-assed guilt
[03:04.23]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
[03:08.36]Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
