Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Show Biz Kids

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

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

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 bodys

They got the Steely Dan T-shirt

And for the coup-de-gras

They're outrageous

Let me tell you

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 business kids making movies

Of themselves you know they

Don't give a fuck about anybody else

You know you go to

While the poor people sleepin'

With the shade on the light

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
