Mgmt - Congratulations lyrics

rate me

Dead in the water

It's not a paid vacation

the sons and daughters

of city officials attend demonstration

it's hardly a sink or swim if all is well

and the tickets sell

Out with the weapons

It's not a blaze of glory

You look down from the temples

Pull it together? and make it a story

Tears on marble something something

It was always lost

It was never heard

I've been sold to make me poise

But you don't know how the money's spent

To break my stays and draw my lines

So I can't tell what's really there

And all I need's a great big congratulations

We'll keep the trail warm

Pay attention for me

As strange as it seems, I'd rather dissolve

Than have you ignore me

If God made the looming plans go

I tried my best to ignore that (bad land? muffled bit)

The difference is clear

You throw in an apology

Rest in the new year (?)

Dusky dawns always been ...something…

It started the simple stop of (?)

All the ways they sought to tame me

It turned your luck into a mistress

It kept on coming back a smile

You seen my face at half past guilt

And lay down the quilts upon the lawn

Spread my arms -

A circle of congratulations
