The House Is Haunted
Alice Cooper · The Eyes Of Alice Cooper [2003]
Someone in my life I fear was at the point of dying
A cold wind blew right up my spine, it was the break of dawn
A little voice went deep inside, told me she was gone
Oh, this house is haunted
Oh, that's how I want it to be
Oh this house is haunted
You can always stay here with me
No more singing, no more laughing, no more sunny days
She left and took the colors with her, buried in her grave
This is where we climbed the tower, this is where she fell
Then when her young heart stopped beating, I went to hell
Oh, this house is haunted
Oh, ha
Oh, this house is haunted
Oh, oh
You float through the living room, I watch my TV
I feel you sit down on the couch right here next to me
Then I feel your lips touch mine just like we used to do
I'm so happy all alone being here with you
The House Is Haunted
Released on Alice Cooper's 2003 album The Eyes Of Alice Cooper, The House Is Haunted stands as a hauntingly effective track that blends the artist's signature theatrical horror themes with a modern production aesthetic. While the song retains the operatic vocal style and dramatic flair characteristic of Cooper's career, it reflects a deliberate evolution in his sound during this era of the 21st century. The recording captures the essence of his work as a pioneer of rock opera and shock rock, utilizing atmospheric textures to build tension without relying on traditional horror tropes. It serves as a testament to his enduring ability to craft immersive sonic landscapes that challenge listeners, bridging the gap between his classic 1970s output and contemporary rock sensibilities.
