Porter Wagoner
The Rubber Room
[Verse 1]
In a buildin' tall
With a stone wall around
There's a rubber room
When a man sees things
And hears sounds that's not there
He's headed for the rubber room
[Verse 2]
Illusions in a twisted mind
To save from self-destruction, hmm
It's the rubber room
Where a man can run into the wall
Till his strength makes him fall and lie still
And wait for help in the rubber room
[Refrain]
From his blurry vision of doom
A psycho in the rubber room
[Verse 2]
The man in the room right next to mine
Screams a woman's name, hits the wall in vain
He's in the rubber room
I hear footsteps poundin' on the floor
God, I hope they don't stop at my door
Hmm, I'm in the rubber room
Now they've come to get me, but they find
I'm a-screamin' pretty words, tryin' to make 'em rhyme
I'm in the rubber room
[Refrain]
Hmm, a psycho
I'm in the rubber room
[Outro]
Doom, doom, doom
Zoom, boom, doom
Zoom, boom, boom
The rubber room
The rubber room
Boom, hmm
