Congratulations Lyrics - Congratulations - Mgmt

Dead in the water 

It's not a paid vacation 

The sons and daughters of city officials 

Attend demonstrations 

It's hardly a sink or swim 

When all is well if the ticket sells 

Out with a wimper 

It's not a blaze of glory 

You look down from your temple 

As people endeavor to make it a story

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

And chisel a marble word 

But all is lost if it's never heard 

But I've got someone to make reports 

That tell me how my money's spent 

To book my stays and draw my blinds 

So I can't tell 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 than have you ignore me 

The ground may be moving fast 

But I've tied my boots to a broken mast 

Photos 

The difference is clear 

You throw it in your cauldron 

Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn 

Steinways and Baldwins 

You start with a simple stock 

Of all the waste and salt to taste 

But damn my luck and damn these friends 

That keep on combing back their smiles 

I save my grace with half-assed guilt 

And lay down the quilt upon the lawn 

Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
