[00:00.00]MGMT - Congratulation [00:02.00] [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] [01:51.10]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 [03:14.69]
