[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 lonely by.

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
