Committed To Parkview

There's a man across the hall who sits starin' at the floor

And he thinks he's Hank Williams hear his singin' through the door

There's a girl in 2-0-2 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 2-0-7 comin' down on Thorozene

And a superstar exdrummer tryin' to pick benzedrine

There's a real fine country singer who has tried and tried and tried

They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide

There are those who never made it those who did and now are through

Some came of their own good choosin' 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

Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to parkview

They wake me about 6: 30 just before the morning meal

While they're takin' my blood pressure they ask me how I feel

And I always say fantastic there ain't nothing wrong with me

And then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep

And my days're kinda foggy and my nights're dreamy too

For they're taking good care of me while committed to parkview
