Analysis of Pillow-lips
My girl has pillow-lips
The kind that are comfortable
When I rest upon them
I have seen them snarling
But I remember them smiling
Curling around my ear
Whispering a love spell
Arousing enchantment in me
Alluring my own lips
You know how your head feels
When it rests upon a pillow
Funny, I don't sleep well
