Alice Cooper - He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)

Soy un gran fanático de Jason Voorhees, el famoso asesino en serie de la saga Friday, The 13th (Martes 13). Es que siempre le he tenido simpatía a este pequeño niño en cuerpo de hombre que se la pasa evitando lo que todo adulto dogmático desearía que sus hijos no estuvieran disfrutando, esto es: sexo, drogas y rock and roll. Y es que si Jason no hubiera sido tan extremo, quizás habría sido la imagen de campaña y el mejor aliado de la sociedad conservadora norteamericana de los años 80.

Para la sexta entrega de Friday, The 13th, se contó con la participación de Alice Cooper como encargado del tema principal. La canción, He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) que también apareció en el disco Constrictor (1986) no es precisamente un gran clásico del rock, pero es al menos bastante atractiva y pegadiza. Y debo agregar que este tema tiene como aderezo aquel famoso KI-KI-KI, MA-MA-MA, típico de Jason. Que ganas de haber sido un adolescente en aquella época alucinando con música y películas como esta!

Y de que van las letras: Pues están totalmente enfocadas en la imagen de Jason y su gran regreso a la pantalla grande, ahora transformado en un ser sobrenatural, poderoso, casi invulnerable. Y también son una especie de advertencia para todos aquellos que pudieran estar cerca o en la mira de este personaje que donde pone el ojo... pone el machete.

Letras / Lyrics

You're with your baby
And you're parked alone
On a summer night
You're deep in love
But you're deeper in the woods
You think you're doin' alright

Did you hear that voice
Did you see that face
Or was it just a dream
This can't be real
That only happens, babe
On the movie screen

Oh, but he's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he crawled out of his hole

You're swimmin' with your girl
Out on lovers' lake
And the wind blows cold
It chills your bones
But you're still on the make
That's a bad mistake

But the moon was full
And you had a chance
To be all alone
But you're not alone
This is your last dance
And your last romance

Yeah, cause he's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he crawled out of his hole

Oh, if you see him comin'
Get away if you can
Just keep on runnin'
Run as fast as you can
He's a dangerous, dangerous man

And he's out tonight
And he's watchin' you
And he knows your house
No, don't turn out the lights

Yeah, cause he's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's after your soul

He's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's after your soul

He's back
He's the man behind the mask
And he's out of control
He's back
The man behind the mask
And he's after your soul
