I'll Bite Your Face Off
Alice Cooper · Other Songs - Alice Cooper
With seduction dancing in her eyes
She turned around, looked me up and down
And took me by surprise
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But my feet were made of clay
Looked in her eyes, I was paralyzed
And 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 in the cream
She was a sinner's queen, with a delicious angel face
Then she'd invite you in, c'mon and lick my skin
You trade 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
This wasn't 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
About I'll Bite Your Face Off
"I'll Bite Your Face Off" stands as a quintessential example of Alice Cooper's theatrical horror rock, delivered with the same visceral intensity found in his seminal work *Billion Dollar Babies*. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of operatic vocals, distorted guitars, and grotesque imagery that defined the late 1960s and early 1970s shock rock movement. As a standalone recording, it captures the raw energy of Cooper's persona, transforming the stage into a nightmare landscape where the line between performer and victim blurs. The song's aggressive delivery and dark themes contributed significantly to the genre's evolution, influencing countless artists who followed by embracing macabre subject matter and dramatic flair. It remains a powerful testament to the era's willingness to confront the darker aspects of human nature through music.
