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



Chorus

No questions

(Life on the line)

That's fine

(Life)

Just sign on the dotted line



The nib hesitates 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



Chorus



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
