Spirits In The Night

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 wanna go to Greasy Lake?"

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

I got a bottle of rosé, 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 now and let 'em shoot through ya

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 to feel it"

By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake

My head was out the window, Janey's finger's 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!

Janey 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, 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 stars threw light

On Billy and Davy dancin' in the moonlight

Down near the water in a stone 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 Janey's 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!

You don't know what they can do to ya

Spirits in the night (all night), all night (all night)

Stand right up now 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
