Committed To Parkview

Committed To Parkview - Johnny Cash (約翰尼·卡什)/Tennessee Three

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

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Who have withdrawn from the rat race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
