Theres a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor
He thinks hes Hank Williams hear him singing through the door
Theres a girl in 203 who stops by to visit me
And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be
There are lots of special people staying in or passing through
And for one thing or another committed to Parkview
Theres a girl in 307 coming down on thorazine
And a superstars ex drummer trying to kick benzedrine
Theres a boy just below me whos the son of some well known
He was brought in by his mother because his daddys always gone
Theres a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to dues
Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview
Theres a girl who cries above me loud enough to wake the dead
They dont know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head
Theres a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried
They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide
There are those that never made it those that did but now are through
Some came of their own good chosing some committed to Parkview
They wake us about 6:30 just before the morning meal
While theyre taking blood pressure they ask us how we feel
And I always say fantastic there aint nothing wrong with me
And then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep
The days are kind of foggy and the nights are dreamy too
But they’re taking good care of me committed to Parkview
