There' s a man across the hall who sits starin g at the floor
And he thinks he's Hank Williams hear him s inging through the door
There's a g irl in 202 who stops b y to visit me
And she t alks about her songs and the s tar that she should be
There's a l ot of real fine talent stayin' i n or passin' through
And for o ne thing o r an other they're c ommitted to Parkv iew
There's a girl in 207 coming d own on Thorazine
And a superstars ex drummer t rying to kick Benzedrine
There's a r eal fine country singer who has t ried and tried and tried
They just b rought him in this morning an a ttempted suicide
There are t hose who never made it those w ho did and now are through
Some came o f their o wn good c hoosin' some c ommitted to Parkv iew
There's a girl who cries above me loud e nough to wake the dead
They don't know what she has taken that has s crambled up her head
There's a b oy just down below me who's the s on of some well known
He was b rought in by his mother cause his d addy's always gone
There's a b um from down on Broadway and a f ew quite well-to-do
Who have w ithdrawn f rom the r at race and c ommitted to Parkv iew
They wake me about 6:30 just b efore the morning meal
While they're taking my blood pressure they a sk me how I we feel
And I a lways say fantastic there ain't n othing wrong with me
And then they g ive me my injection and I g o right back to sleep
And my d ays are kind of foggy and my n ights are dreamy too
For they're t aking g ood care o f me while c ommitted to Parkv iew
