Bowlegged & Starving Lyrics



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



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



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
