Cold Ethyl
Alice Cooper · Welcome To My Nightmare [1975]
Is Cold Ethyl and her skeleton kiss
We met last night
Making love by the refrigerator light
Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms
One thing, no lie
Ethyl's frigid as an Eskimo Pie
She's cool in bed
And she ought to be...'cause Ethyl's dead
Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms
Come on, Cold Ethyl
Freeze me, babe
One thing, it's true
Cold Ethyl, I am stuck on you
And everything is my way
Ethyl don't have much to say
Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms
Come here, Cold Ethyl
What makes you so cold?
Ooh, so cold...ooh...
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
If I live till I'm 97
You'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven
Cause you're cool, you're ice
Cold Ethyl, you're my paradise
Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl stands as a haunting centerpiece on Alice Cooper's 1975 concept album, Welcome To My Nightmare. Marking a distinct shift from the band's earlier hard rock sound, this solo effort showcases Cooper's theatrical horror aesthetic through a darker, more atmospheric lens. The track explores themes of isolation and decay, capturing the eerie narrative tone that defines the record. As part of a celebrated era in Cooper's discography, the song highlights his ability to blend rock instrumentation with macabre storytelling. Its enduring presence in his live performances underscores its significance within his broader body of work, offering listeners a glimpse into the psychological depth that characterized his transition into a solo superstar.
