Halo of Flies

About Halo of Flies

"Halo of Flies" is a 1973 single by rock band Alice Cooper taken from their 1971 album Killer. The single was only released in the Netherlands, two years after the song appeared on the album. The song was, according to Cooper's liner notes in the compilation The Definitive Alice Cooper, an attempt by the band to prove that they could perform King Crimson-like progressive rock suites, and was supposedly about a spy organization. Upon its 1973 single release, the song became a top 10 hit in the Netherlands and also charted in neighboring Belgium. The single release featured the B-side "Under My Wheels", also a song of the Killer album, which had already been released as a single two years prior. The noise rock band Halo of Flies named themselves after this song. Jello Biafra and The Melvins covered the song on their release Sieg Howdy!, while Haunted Garage covered it for the 1993 Cooper tribute Welcome to Our Nightmare. The song was also used in the VR experience Dreams of Dali. more »

I've got the answers to all of your questions
If you've got the money to pay me in gold
I will be living in Old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading the secrets of soul
Daggers and contracts and shiny limos
I've got a watch that turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns and poisonous cobras
Silence under the heel of my shoe
The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She'd rather shoot me in my tracks
And while a Middle Asian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies
I crossed the ocean
Where no-one could see
And I put a time bomb in your submarine
Goodbye to old friends
The secret's in hand
With full discs and printouts
And fantastic plans
You never will understand
