[Intro: Dial tone beeping]

"Housekeeping...

Hello, housekeeping?

Hello?"

[Verse 1]

Well, you found me

But I don't know

What you want to say to me

Well, God is great and God is good

But God didn't help me when he could

And love dances so lonely by

[Chorus]

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, 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, up

[Verse 2]

I... I can't feel anything

My arms are numb

And I'm hoping you notice

The light I left on

And all that you'll find inside

Are pills and butterflies

But I'll be smiling when I die, hey

[Chorus]

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, 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, 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, up

[Spoken Interlude: Housekeeping / Security]

"Sir, I know you're in there

Are you okay?"

"Security, ma'am

What's the problem here?"

"No one's answering"

"Who's in there?

Hello? Hello?

Stepping into the room now...

Oh, Jesus Christ!"

"Oh! Ooh!"

[Chorus]

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, 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, up

This is just a courtesy call

(What'd you want to say to me?)

This is just a matter of policy

(What'd you want to say to me now?)

This is just an act of kindness

(Would you tell me one, one more thing now?)

To let you know that your time is up, 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 all you could)

This is just an act of kindness

(It's been coming for a long time, long time...)

To let you know that your time is up, up
