Artist: Parquet Courts
Track: Stoned and Starving
Lyrics
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
I was flipping through magazines
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
Well, I was reading ingredients
Asking myself "should I eat this?"
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
I was scratching off silver ink
I was deciding what to drink
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
And I was flipping through magazines
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
Well I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
I was flipping through magazines
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
I was debating Swedish Fish
Roasted peanuts or licorice
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
I was holding some wadded bills
I was reading that smoking kills
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
I was flipping through magazines
I was so (stoned and starving) so stoned and starving
