Under My Wheels
Alice Cooper · Killer
The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun
I'm driving right up to you, babe
I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah
But you were under my wheels honey
Why don't you let me be
'Cause when you call me on the telephone
Saying take me to the show
And then I say, honey, I just can't go
Old lady's sick and I can't leave her home
The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
I got you under my wheels

Under My Wheels
Released on the 1971 album Killer, "Under My Wheels" stands as a defining track in Alice Cooper's evolution from horror-themed shock rock to polished arena rock. The song features the band's signature blend of theatrical vocals and driving electric guitar riffs, showcasing the musical maturity achieved after the chaotic experimentation of Billion Dollar Babies. As a staple of the rock genre, it exemplifies the era's shift toward anthemic choruses and complex song structures while maintaining the band's distinctive dark aesthetic. The recording remains a critical component of Cooper's discography, illustrating the transition from novelty acts to serious rock performers.
