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 [ guitar ] 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in by his mother cause his daddy's always gone There's a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well-to-do Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to parkview They wake me about 6:30 just before the morning meal While they're takin' my blood pressure they ask me how I feel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
