and i fall asleep with pieces of jennifer in my head
with slender fingers hiding
sugared lips that should
everyday be half of a kiss
it seems she's against whole syllables
when single sounds will do, will do
and i fall asleep with pieces of jennifer in my eyes
delicious
a dream of cream
important in its
figurative language
it lends a sweetness to the tongue
silksmoothness to her eyes
and gibberish-comfort to my hands
and i could eat her up
with a spoon
if she'd just sit still long enough
lady, what do i have to do
lady, i wanna make love to you
lady, she only whispers
lady, she softly kisses, softly kisses
and i fall asleep with pieces of jennifer in my mouth

sarah says: it's nice to date a girl. everything is softer, gentler, more lines and curves, fewer sharp edges to cut yourself on. everyone should try it at least once. jennifer was surprised that i put this song on the album, i was surprised that she was surprised.
