Congratulations(Erol Alkan Rework) - MGMT

[06:39.0]Dead in the water
[06:39.0]It's not a paid vacation
[06:39.0]The sons and daughters of city officials
[06:39.0]Attend demonstrations
[06:39.0]It's hardly a sink or swim
[06:39.0]When all is well if the ticket sells
[06:39.0]Out with a wimper
[06:39.0]It's not a blaze of glory
[06:39.0]You look down from your temple
[06:39.0]As people endeavor to make it a story
[06:39.0]And chisel a marble word
[06:39.0]But all is lost if it's never heard
[06:39.0]But I've got someone to make reports
[06:39.0]That tell me how my money's spent
[06:39.0]To book my stays and draw my blinds
[06:39.0]So I can't tell what's really there
[06:39.0]And all I need's a great big congratulations
[06:39.0]I'll keep your dreams
[06:39.0]You pay attention for me
[06:39.0]As strange as it seems
[06:39.0]I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
[06:39.0]The ground may be moving fast
[06:39.0]But I tied my boots to a broken mast
[06:39.0]The difference is clear
[06:39.0]You throw it in your cauldron
[06:39.0]Rust and veneer dusk and dawn
[06:39.0]Steinways and Baldwins
[06:39.0]You start with a simple stock of all the waste
[06:39.0]And salt to taste
[06:39.0]But damn my luck and damn these friends
[06:39.0]That keep on combing back their smiles
[06:39.0]I save my grace with half-assed guilt
[06:39.0]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
[06:39.0]But damn my luck and damn these friends
[06:39.0]That keep on combing back their smiles
[06:39.0]I save my grace with half-assed guilt
[06:39.0]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
[06:39.0]Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
