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?  Whoah - oh
Where am I?  Whoah - oh
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, Michaelangelo: you know)
