Story behind the song
Dave and I did it again. We can't help it, we got nothing else to do.....
This is a cover of "Showbiz Kids" from Steely Dan's "Countdown To Ecstasy" Album. It was actually the first single from the album.
Anyway, Dave played the drums (which he said almost put him in a "hypnotic coma", LOL) and sings the lead vocal. I did the 2nd vocal and the guitar, bass, and midi programming.

Lyrics
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
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-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous
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 you know they
Don't give a flip 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
