[Susan Foreman]

The next song on the album, 'Trick Bag', has an interesting history. Musically, it started out as the demo version of 'He's Back' for the film 'Jason Lives', but it was rejected by the films' producers as it was "too heavy". The lyrics were re-written, and it became this song instead.

The 'He's Back' demo can be found on the 'Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper' box set, while the finished song will be discussed in the next post

07/10 - Trick Bag (Cooper, Roberts, Wagener)



"Tie you up baby, really tight
In a lover's knot
I'm in the mood for my leather boots
With the leopard spots
Take you down to my side of town
Where I learned to love
Strap you down, honey
Pet you nice with my velvet glove

You dial my number
So let me take the lead
I'm the man, understand
With the smooth slight of hand
And all the magic you need

T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Burn you with desire
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
Gonna lay it on thick
So the memory'll stick

Chew me up with your perfect mouth
Don't you spit me out, yeah..
Teach you good, Little Miss Hollywood
What it's all about
You call me up baby, in the middle of the night
You say you're sweating red
And you're dripping on your bed
T-tripping in the moonlight

T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Burn you with my fire
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
Gonna lay it on thick
So the memory'll stick

Yeah, right there

You call me up baby in the middle of the night
You say you`re sweating red
And you`re dripping on your bed
Tripping in the moonlight

T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
T-t-t-t-t Trick bag, come on and let your body go
I'm Gonna make it stick
T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Whoa....
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
Yeah, my hands are quick
T-t-t-t-t trick bag, sit back and just enjoy the show
Whoa....
Trick bag, come on and let your body go
G-g-g-g-go
Trick Bag
Trick Bag
Trick Bag
Trick Bag

Following this is 'Crawlin'', which is the albums 'sex song'

08/10 - Crawlin' (Cooper, Roberts)



"Your dress is hangin' on a hook on the door
My jeans are lying in a pile on the floor, yeah
Flat on my back, tryin' to catch my breath
When we were rockin' tonight
I thought that we were gonna rock to death

But what's that in your eyes?
I'm no longer paralysed
Here we go again

Crawlin', you come crawling to me
I go crawling to you
We come crawling
You come crawling to me
I go crawling to you

Your hair is tangled and your lipstick is gone
You're stretched out, calling my name
With just your high heels on
We hunt each other on our hands and our knees
Well I'm an alley cat
And you're a hot little Siamese

But what's that in your eyes?
I'm no longer paralysed
Here we go again

Crawlin', you come crawling to me
I go crawling to you
We come crawling
You come crawling to me
I go crawling to you

Come on baby
Slither on over here

Crawlin', come crawlin'
Crawlin'
You come crawling to me
Like a snake in a tree
Crawlin', come crawlin'
Crawlin'
I come crawling to you
Slither right back to me
Crawlin', come crawlin'
Crawlin'
You come crawling to me
I think this will bump your knee
Crawlin', come crawlin'
Crawlin'
You come crawling to me
C'mon
C'mon and crawl to me
Crawl to me, crawl to me..
