He’s Back (Demo)Alice Cooper

Songwriter: Alice Cooper Kane Roberts

Producer: Michael Wagener

You're with your baby
And you're parked alone
On a summer night

You're deep in love
But you're deeper in the woods
You think you're doin' alright

You heard a voice
Did you see that face
Or was it just a dream?

It can't be real
That only happens, babe
On the movie screen

If you see him comin'
Get away if you can
He's a dangerous man
Throws a dangerous party, man

He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control

He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll

He's going out tonight
Going to make his rounds to get his fill
Standing straight and tall
He's a ton of fun and he's dressed to kill

You know you read he was gone
It was surely is him
But he's back on the prowl
Again and again and again

Don't you know
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control

He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll

You know you read he was gone
It was surely is him
But he's back on the prowl
Again and again and again

He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control

He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll

He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control

He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll

He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's out of control

He's back
The man behind the mask
He crawled out of his hole
Just to rock and roll

He's back

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.
