Pretty much all of Steely Dan's songs have creepy undertones to them, especially after they fired everyone and started using session performers. I think Becker read a little too much Burroughs, myself, because Fagen's solo work isn't quite as on the nose.

Gryphon: Nope; they started out as a band, but eventually became a studio project with Walter Becker and Donald Fagen doing all the songwriting and some well-known jazz and LA session guys laying down the tracks with them. The name is from Naked Lunch; in the words of one Breadquanda, "it's a dil-do?"
I just mentioned Burroughs and Keisha Fabo in the same post. I'm on a roll tonight.
