Spirit In The Night (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - 12/31/1980)

Crazy Janey and her mission man

Were back in the alley tradin' hands

'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man

All duded up for Saturday night

Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes

And said, "Anybody want to go on up to Greasy Lake?

It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88

I got a bottle of rose so 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

Ooh, and they dance like spirits in the night (all night)

In the night (all night)

Oh, you don't know what they can do to you

Spirits in the night (all night)

Oh, in the night (all night)

Stand right up now and let it shoot through you

Well now, Wild Billy was a crazy cat

And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap

He said, "Trust some of this, it'll show you where you're at

Or at least it'll help you really feel it"

By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake

I had my head out the window and Janey's fingers were in the cake

I think I really dug her 'cause I was too loose to fake

I said, I'm hurt, she said, honey, let me heal it

And we danced all night to a soul fairy band

And she kissed me just right, like only a lonely angel can

She felt so nice

Just as soft as a spirit in the night (all night)

In the night (all night)

Oh, Janey don't know what she do to you

Like a spirit in the night (all night)

All night (all night)

I stand right up and I let her shoot through me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Now, the night was bright and the stars threw light

On Billy and Davy dancin' in the moonlight

They were down near the water in a stone mud fight

Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn

Well now, Hazy Davy got really hurt

He ran into the lake in just his socks and his shirt

Me and Crazy Janey was makin' love in the dirt

Singin' our birthday songs

Janey 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)

In the night (all night)

Oh, you don't know what they can do to you

Them spirits in the night (all night)

All night (all night)

Oh, stand right up and let her shoot through you

Like a spirit in the night (all night)

All night (all night)

All night (all night)

All night (all night)

All night (all night)

All night (all night)

All night

Be-da-ba the night

All night

In the night

In the night
