Committed To Parkview
View chords used in this chart
A E
There's a man across the hall who sits starin' at the floor
A
And he think he's Hank Williams, hear him singin' through the door
D A
There's a girl in 202 who stops by to visit me
B7 E
And she talks about her songs, and the star that she should be
D A D
There's a lot of real fine talent, stayin' in or passin' through
A D A E A
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Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview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
