Analysis of Quixotic
You're always inflated when I set your sail
You're always elated when I lift the veil
You're always ecstatic when I meet your goal
You're always dramatic when I play the role
You're always delighted when I ring your bell
You're always excited when I cast the spell
You're always euphoric when I fly your kite
You're always motoric when I shed the light
You're always requited when I pay your debt
You're always ignited when I win the bet
You're always quixotic when I hit your theme
You're always erotic when I tap the dream
