Show biz kids

( W.Becker, D.Fagen )

After closing time
At the country Fair
I detect the El Supremo
In the room at the top of the stairs

Well I've been around the world
And I've been in the Washington Zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy

They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous
So honey let me tell you how

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

Show biz kids making movies of themselves
They don't give a fuck about anybody else

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
