Songwriter: Jamie Sever Mark Frazier Desmond Child Alice Cooper

Producer: Desmond Child

It ain't the way you crawl across the Cathouse floor
It ain't the way you curse me when you slam the bedroom door
It ain't the way you sweat me for a handful of easy cash
It's just the way you love me when you turn to trash
Trash

It's not the way you dress when you socialize, oh those eyes
It ain't the diamond rock or that Rolls you drive
You can walk the streets with all your uptown flash, such flash
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash
You're such trash

I love the way you look
You're such a high class tramp
It's not the way you touch me when you... ooh yeah

You're daddy's dream, you're a peach in cream
And you're ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash
Trash

I love the way you look
You're such a high class tramp - oh like a tramp
It's not the way you touch me when you... ooh
Make me understand - oh yeah

You're daddy's dream, you're a peach in cream
And you're finally ripe at last
But when you hit the sheets you just turn to trash

You know you're mighty cool
You know you're mighty wild
Come on down here with that Penthouse smile

Trash - dirty baby

Maybe you went down low as you can get
Been dripping hard and put away wet - yeah
Trash

What you want, What you want, What you want, and got it
What you want, What you want, What you want, and got it

Hey baby what's your name?
Ah she's trash - uh ah - street trash
How low can you go? Low!
My love is like a lollypop
Would you lick it?
All the way to the chewy center

Oh yeah
Trash

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper is the stage name and ‘fun villain’ character of Vincent Furnier. Cooper became the target of parents and ministers for his dark lyrics and gory theatrical performances that earned him the title Godfather of Shock Rock. Despite once claiming the name was conjured from a ouija board that told him he’s the reincarnation of a 17th century witch, Cooper laughs the topic off with flippant answers like “It was either a Scrabble board or a bowl of alphabet soup” and “I didn’t want a name like Iron Butterfly or Black Sabbath. I wanted it to be something your aunt might be called.”

The band Alice Cooper was originally signed by Frank Zappa to his own record label. Their first notoriety came when Cooper tossed a wayward chicken (possibly arranged by long-time manager Shep Gordon) into the crowd, who then tore it apart at the 1969 Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival Festival. Newspapers claimed he’d bit the bird’s head off and drank its blood. Zappa advised them to not deny the story and Cooper used it as inspiration to make his character darker.

The band’s teaming with producer Bob Ezrin for their third album Love It To Death led to their US breakthrough with a top 30 hit “I’m Eighteen” in early 1971. By then, the band was already infamous for their stage show, which had escalated into simulated torture and executions. That same year, Killer was released with its two singles “Under My Wheels” and “Be My Lover” finding moderate US success, and both albums being certified gold the following year.
