Lyrics Sixx:A.M. – Courtesy Call

Dialtone, knocking

Female voice
Housekeeping…

Knocking

Female
Hello, housekeeping?

Tries, door, knocking

Female
Hello?

Well you found me, but I don’t know
Why you wanna save me…
Well, God is great and God is good
But God didn’t help me when he could
And life dances so slowly by.

This is just a courtesy call
This is just a matter of policy
This is just an act of kindness
To let you know that your time is up
This is just a courtesy call
This is just a matter of policy
This is just an act of kindness
To let you know that your time is up

I, I can’t feel anything
My arms are numb and I’m hoping
You noticed the line I left off
All that you’ll find inside
Are bells and butterflies
But I’ll be smiling when I die

This is just a courtesy call
This is just a matter of policy

This is just a courtesy call
This is just a matter of policy
This is just an act of kindness
To let you know that your time is up

Knocking

Female
Sir, I know you’re in there; are you okay?

Male voice
Excuse me, ma’am, what’s the problem here?

Female
No one answering.

Male
Who’s in here. Hello?

Knocking

Male
Hello? Step away from the door, ma’am

Keys jingle, LOUD blunt thump, dialtone gets louder

Male
Oh Jesus Christ!

Female
Oh! Ooh!

This is just a courtesy call
This is just a matter of policy
This is just an act of kindness
To let you know that your time is up
This is just a courtesy call
This is just a matter of policy
This is just an act of kindness
To let you know that your time is up

This is just a courtesy call
(Why’d you want to save me?)
This is just a matter of policy
(Why’d you want to save me now?)
This is just an act of kindness
(What’d you want to do it for?)
To let you know that your time is up
This is just a courtesy call
(Why would you wanna save my life?)
This is just a matter of policy
(I know you did or you could)
This is just an act of kindness
(It’s been comin’ for a long time, long time…)
To let you know that your time is up
