About Killer

"Killer" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss. Featured on their 1982 album, Creatures of the Night, the song was released as an A-side single in the United Kingdom. Although "I Love It Loud" was an A-side single in the United States, it would be relegated to the B-side in the UK. It was the first song Vinnie Vincent and Gene Simmons wrote together after the two had met. In addition to not being able to chart at all, Kiss has never performed the song live and it has only been released as a single and on all issues of the Creatures of the Night album (the song was switched places with "Saint and Sinner" on the 1985 reissue). In 2008, the song was featured on the Vinnie Vincent tribute album KISS MY ANKH: A Tribute to Vinnie Vincent, covered by DoubleVirgo.

Her love is a gun, her love is a blade, she's a killer
Bitch is insane, she deals in pain, she's a killer
Ooh, she'll cut you clean, then she'll watch you bleed
So obscene, she's what I need, she loves to hear me scream
Black lace, stiletto heels, she's a killer
Crack the whip, submission trip, she's a killer
Ooh, cat in heat, mistress of deceit
Nerves of steel, her next meal, she's searching for the meat
She's a killer, stone cold killer, killer, stone cold killer

Watch out for your jugular vein, she's a killer
Animal with a twisted brain, she's a killer
Ooh, she guarantees you'll suffer with desire
Wicked queen, night machine,
She'll make you walk through fire
Killer, run for your life, killer, will she bite
Killer, run for your life, killer, will she bite,
Suck your blood tonight

Killer, stone cold killer, she's a killer, stone cold killer
Killer, stone cold killer, she's a killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, she's a killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, stone cold killer, she's a killer
