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mother because his daddys always gone AD Theres a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to dues ADADA Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview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