Spirits in the Night Lyrics
Crazy Janie and her mission man
Were back in the alley trading hands
Along came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man
All duded up for Saturday night
Well Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
Said anybody wanna go to Greasy Lake?
It's a mile out on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of Rosy let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
And I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
They're built like light, and they dance like
Spirits in the night, all night
You don't know what they can do to ya
Spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let 'em shoot through ya
Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said try some of this, it'll show you where you're at
Or at least it'll help you to feel it
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
My head was out the window, Janie's fingers in the cake
I think I really dug her, I was too loose to fake
I said I'm hurt, she said honey let's heal it
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a
Spirit in the night, all night
Janie don't know what she do to ya
Spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through ya
(SOLOS)
Spirits in the night, in the night
Spirits in the night, all night
Spirits in the night, in the night
Spirits in the night, all night
Now the night was bright and the starts threw light
On Billy and Davy dancing in the moonlight
Down near the water in a stoned mud fight
Killer Joe passed out on the lawn
Hazy Davy got really hurt
He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and Crazy Janie's making love in the dirt
Singing our birthday songs
Janie said it was time to go
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye
To Gypsy Angel Row
Felt so right, together we moved like
Spirits in the night, all night
You don't know what they can do to ya
Spirits in the night (all night) all night (all night)
Stand right up and let 'em shoot through ya
Spirits in the night, all night
You don't know what they can do to ya
Spirits in the night, all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spirits in the night, all night
Spirits in the night, all night
Spirits in the night
Spirits in the night
Were back in the alley trading hands
Along came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man
All duded up for Saturday night
Said anybody wanna go to Greasy Lake?
It's a mile out on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of Rosy let's try it
And I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
They're built like light, and they dance like
You don't know what they can do to ya
Spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let 'em shoot through ya
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said try some of this, it'll show you where you're at
Or at least it'll help you to feel it
My head was out the window, Janie's fingers in the cake
I think I really dug her, I was too loose to fake
I said I'm hurt, she said honey let's heal it
And she kissed me just right like a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a
Janie don't know what she do to ya
Spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through ya
Spirits in the night, all night
Spirits in the night, in the night
Spirits in the night, all night

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Spirits in the night, all night
Spirits in the night
Spirits in the night
