Steely Dan Showbiz Kids lyrics

Steely Dan
Countdown To Ecstasy
Showbiz Kids
Background: Go to Las Wages, Los Wages, go to Las Wages
(continues throughout)

While the poor people sleep with the shade on the light
While the poor people sleep all the stars come out at night
While the poor people sleep with the shade on the light
While the poor people sleep all the stars come out at night

After closing time at the Guernsey Fair,
I detect the El Supremo from 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

[Chorus]


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 bodies, they got the Steely Dan T-shirts
And for the coupe de grace, they're outrageous
Honey let me tell you

[Chorus]

Show bus'ness kids makin' movies of themselves
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else

You know you go to Las Wages, Las Wages, go to Las Wages
