[Chorus]
While the poor people sleepin' (Go to Lost Wages)
With the shade on the light (Lost Wages)
While the poor people sleepin' (You go to Lost Wages)
All the stars come out at night
While the poor people sleepin' (Go to Lost Wages)

[Verse 1]
After closing time (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
At the Guernsey fair (You go to Lost Wages)
I detect the El Supremo (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
From the room at the top of the stairs (You go to Lost Wages)
Well I've been around the world (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
And I've been in the Washington Zoo (You go to Lost Wages)
And in all my travels (Go to Lost Wages)
As the facts unravel (Lost Wages)
I've found this to be true (You go to Lost Wages)
[Chorus]
While the poor people sleepin' (Go to Lost Wages)
With the shade on the light (Lost Wages)
While the poor people sleepin' (You go to Lost Wages)
All the stars come out at night
While the poor people sleepin' (Go to Lost Wages)
With the shade on the light (Lost Wages)
While the poor people sleepin' (You go to Lost Wages)
All the stars come out at night
Go to Lost Wages

[Verse 2]
They got the house on the corner (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
With the rug inside (You go to Lost Wages)
They got the booze they need (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
All that money can buy (You go to Lost Wages)
They got the shapely bodies (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt (You go to Lost Wages)
And for the Coup de grâce (Go to Lost Wages, Lost Wages)
They're outrageous (You go to Lost Wages)
Oh, honey let me tell you
[Chorus]
While the poor people sleepin' (Go to Lost Wages)
With the shade on the light (Lost Wages)
While the poor people sleepin' (You go to Lost Wages)
All the stars come out at night
While the poor people sleepin' (Go to Lost Wages)
With the shade on the light (Lost Wages)
While the poor people sleepin' (You go to Lost Wages)
All the stars come out at night
Go to Lost Wages
