in the echo chamber
As I was out walking home alone one night, I saw this man approaching - he wore a coat of white. He said, "you don't know me, but you'll very soon find out!" Then the world was darkness as a cloth Clamped around my mouth. Where am I? I don't know (how can I escape?)  Slowly I recovered. my head was aching bad. I was laying on the carpet inside this madman's lab. Then a voice was speaking from behind a glass-walled booth It said, "welcome stranger, we've got Some serious work to do !" Where am l? someone say more! (what's his fiendish plan?)  He said "you're my guinea-pig, I'm an unsound engineer I'm going to see how much a man can dig A thousand voices in his ever-decreasing human ear"  In the echo chamber I almost went insane, Even my own heartbeat caused my eardrum pain. It was like a Phil Spector nightmare: the echo machine ran wild It was louder, getting louder - I thought that I would die. Where am l? say more! I never got out of there though I've tried and tried For twenty-more years That's why I am where I am now Where am l? I'm gonna tear it down before I go. (ah, c'mon, Michelangelo: you know)
