Porter Wagoner-Rubber Room (1972 Creepy Country ballad with lyrics)

A real strange one from my lp collection by Country Star Porter Wagoner.

1972's echo-heavy cult classic, The Rubber Room was described like this.

The legendary guitarist Chet Atkins, who ran RCA's Nashville division for many of the years Wagoner recorded there, encouraged the singer's dark side. "When I wrote The Rubber Room, he just flipped out," Wagoner recalls. He said, 'Country people won't like it, but there'll be a rock group (doing) that one day, and it'll be a giant song.' He said, 'There's a great market for that kind of stuff. If you don't have a market here, believe me, there will be one day.' And here we are. We've arrived."

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
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 strenght makes him fall and lie still
And wait for help in the rubber room
From his blurry vision of doom a psycho in the rubber room
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 n the rubber room hmm a psycho I'm in the rubber room hmm
