Songwriter: Neal Smith Tommy Henriksen Bob Ezrin Alice Cooper

Producer: Bob Ezrin

She was a dirty dream, cool and clean
With seduction dancing in her eyes
She turned around, looked me up and down
She took me by surprise

I tried to run, tried to hide
But my feet were made of clay
Looked in her eyes, I was paralyzed
I just couldn't get away

She licked her lips, they were bloody red
She had the heart of the living dead
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven, but instead
She turned her head and she softly said

I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off -- little man
I'll bite your face off -- you know that I can

She put the whip into cream
She was a sinner's queen, oh a delicious angel face
She'd invite you in, c'mon and lick my skin
You'd sell your soul for another taste

She took my heart, my resistance fled
I loved each lie that I was fed
She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven, but instead
She turned her head and she softly said

I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off -- little man
I'll bite your face off -- you know that I can

She pushed me down on a burning bed
Thought I was in heaven, but instead
She turned her head and she softly said

I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off -- little man
I'll bite your face off -- you know that I can
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off
I'll bite your face off

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
