I'm sorry about the mess on the table

I'm sure it was an accident

My hands are made of nitroglycerin

That explains the incident

Fortune built my homes in daydreams

Pages I'd never seen

I'm sorry you were so disappointed

The contract states quite fundamentally

The undersigned is you

Lay your life on the line

No questions

(Life on the line)

That's fine

(Life)

Just sign on the dotted line

You didn't hesitate at the inkwell

A sample of the poet's blood

Guitars pluck a tune in the ozone

But me, I'm just stuck in the mud

Fortune left my hopes in daydreams

Pages I'd never seen

I'm sorry you were so disappointed

The contract states quite fundamentally

The undersigned is you

Lay your life on the line

No questions

(Life on the line)

That's fine

(Life)

Just sign on the dotted line

Fortune built my hopes in daydreams

Pages I'd never seen

I'm sorry you were so disappointed

The contract states quite fundamentally

The undersigned is you

Lay your life on the line
