    Well...I googled it...and one of the sites that popped up said this...


    What is Steal Your Face?
    Well, if you've ever needed a site where you can pick a photo of a friend or enemy and have their face transplanted onto some dodgy picture, then this is the site for you. Coz that's what it does.

    Steal your face

    This line was lifted out as the title of the ill-fated album issued under duress. Since the cover of the album featured the logo designed by Stanley Owsley with the grinning skull and lightning bolt inside the circle, that logo has since been identified primarily as the "steal your face" logo, perhaps incorrectly.

    It's when a schwilly wookie rips you off. It's part of the lyrics of "He's Gone".

    "He's Gone"
    Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
    Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission

    Rat in a drain ditch
    Caught on a limb
    You know better but
    I know him
    Like I told you
    What I said
    Steal your face
    right off you head

    Now he's Gone
    Lord he's gone
    Like a steam locomotive
    rolling down the track
    He's gone
    He's gone
    and nothing's gonna bring him back
    He's gone

    Nine mile skid
    on a ten mile ride
    Hot as a pistol
    but cool inside
    Cat on a tin roof
    Dogs in a pile
    Nothing left to do but
    smile, smile, smile

    Now he's gone
    Lord he's gone
    Like a steam locomotive
    rolling down the track
    He's gone
    He's gone
    and nothing's gonna bring him back
    He's gone

    Going where the wind don't blow so strange
    Maybe on some high cold mountain range
    Lost one round but the price wasn't anything
    Knife in a back and more of the same
    Same old rat in a drain ditch
    Out on a limb
    You know better but I know him

    Now he's gone
    Lord he's gone
    Like a steam locomotive
    rolling down the track
    He's gone
    He's gone
    and nothin's gonna bring him back
    He's gone....
