I signed the line

Don’t send me letters in bottles anymore
And don’t come a-knocking or darken my door
We got a contract, devotion evermore
We’re legally bonded in richness and in poor

I signed the line that was dotted
I like to end what I started
I signed the line
And I realise a lotta lies
Were written in letters and bottles they tend to run aground

Don’t give me platinum to weigh down my wrist
I’ve got injunctions, so cease and desist
I’ve got a bottle, a ball and a chain
But you have the one thing of value that remains

I signed the line that was dotted
I like to end what I started
There’s too much I need, I gotta plead insanity
So don’t give me platinum, it just weighs me down

I signed the line
I realise a lotta lies
Were written in letters
And bottles they tend to run aground
