bowlegged & starving

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

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
