Courtesy Call Lyrics

Cover art for Courtesy Call lyrics by Sixx: A.M.

Nikki doesn't get clean in Girl With Golden Eyes. That song's just saying that he realizes that he needs to get away from heroin before it kills him. Then this song comes on...it's about his near-death experience after over-dosing...and following it is Permission, where he finally tries and successfully gets clean. The song's in the right place. Read the book and you'll see. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with these lyrics.

yea but xXRavenxTressesXx..in girl with golden eyes hes talkin about when he went clean for 2 weeks or however long it was in the book..when hes saying "day 1..day 2" etc..i thought that happened after he died. correct me if im wrong [i let my friend borrow my book therefore i cant check lol]

Actually he did get clean in Girl With Golden Eyes. He just relapsed and on December 23rd, 1987, he was actually declared dead but the hospital managed to revive him. After he broke out from there, he tried to overdose again, so he wouldn't have to live with his addiction. After his second overdose-attempt, he wrote the chorus for this song in his diary. Very powerful lyrics, actually.
