Committed To Parkview

There's a man across the hall who sits starin' at the floor And he think he's Hank Williams, hear him singin' through the door There's a girl in 202 who stops by to visit me And she talks about her songs, and the star that she should be There's a lot of real fine talent, stayin' in or passin' through And for one thing or another, they're committed to Parkview There's a girl in 207, comin' down on Thorazine And a superstar's ex-drummer tryin' to kick Benzadrine There's a real fine country singer who has tried and tried and tried They just brought him in this mornin', an attempted suicide There are those who never made it, those who did and now are through Some came of their good chosing, some committed to Parkview There's a girl who cries above me, loud enough to wake the dead They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head There's a boy just down below me who's the son of some well-known He was brought in by his mother 'cause his daddy's always gone There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well-to-do's Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview They wake me about 6:30 just before the mornin' meal They're takin' my blood pressure, they ask me how I feel And I always say fantastic, why there ain't nothin' wrong with me Then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep And my days are kinda foggy, and my nights are dreamy too For they're takin' good care of me while committed to Parkview
