Alice Cooper - 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. 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 organisation.

Lyrics:

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 I sold

Daggers and contacts
And bright shiny limos
I've got a watch
That turns into a lifeboat

Glimmering nightgowns
And poisonous cobras
Silencer 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

She was a Malaysian 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 phony note papers
And counterfeit plans
You never will understand

Sorry for some mistakes here and there, and sorry for the "Doctor Who" resemblance in the beginning, I'm only 13 and just started doing Video + Pictures for first time, and here it is... Enjoy :-)

[broodyart]

I got a watch that turns into a lightbulb. When the first digital-lcd? watchs, [that now cost a buck] came out, my brother bought one. It cost him like $300 dollars back in the seventys. They were a big thing, like a rolex. I wouldn't doubt rolex was the first.
