Jay Brannan - Bowlegged And Starving lyrics

rate me

The stars are shining so bright

Wait—that's just Manhattan's light

It's been 12 hours since i ate

I think I'm finally losing weight

Mixed up my armor with some knight

Walkin' home wearing his white

I know what you're gonna say

No one could love me this way

[chorus]

I'm bowlegged and starving, but

Walkin' home happy

Let this mark the moment

When I felt freedom ring

I've got my laptop for pleasure

And my guitar for pain

Love's a buried treasure

But I don't need love to feel this way

He said I could spend the night

I said thanks but that's alright

You can paint your number on my face

But I'm not into sleeping at someone else's place

[chorus]

I'm bowlegged and starving, but

Walkin' home happy

Let this mark the moment

When I felt freedom ring

I've got my laptop for pleasure

And my guitar for pain

Love's a buried treasure

But I don't need love to feel this way

[bridge]

When Brooklyn tossed a bone, it landed in my wishing well

Took the train for hours to this roach motel

Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's hot

Sometimes he loves me, sometimes he loves me not

[chorus]

I'm bowlegged and starving, but

Walkin' home happy

Let this mark the moment

When I felt freedom ring

I've got my laptop for pleasure

And my guitar for pain

Love's a buried treasure

But I don't need love to feel this way
