"Sometimes I feel like I'm a sentimental trooper
She cried so hard you know she looks like Alice Cooper"
All of the other verses have 4 lines, but this one stops short at just 2 and goes straight to chorus. It breaks the pattern and really draws attention to itself, for what? To name-drop Alice Cooper? It seems silly.
I can imagine the band putting finishing touches on the song, Anthony second-guessing himself for a minute, saying "Uh, I don't know about the Alice Cooper line. I worked really hard to find a word to rhyme with Cooper, but now I don't know if it fits the song. Should we take that part out?"
And Flea says "No man, the Alice Copper part is awesome, you GOTTA leave that in!"
And Anthony smiles at himself, "Yeah, I thought it was great too, guess I was just having a momentary lack of confidence"
