Bowlegged & Starving Songtext
von Jay Brannan

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

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

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

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


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
