after ours (band) - congratulations lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
dead in the water
it’s not a paid vacation
the sons and daughters
of city officials attend demonstrations
it’s hardly sink or swim
when all is well, if the ticket sells

[verse 2]
out with a whimper
it’s not a blaze of glory
you look down from your temple
as people endeavor to make it a story
and chisel a marble word
but all is lost if it’s never heard

[chorus]
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 who’s really there
and all i need’s a great big congratulations

[verse 3]
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 tied my boots to a broken mast
[bridge]
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

[outro]
d+mn my luck, and d+mn 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
