Track byManfred Mann's Earth Band
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 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 Davey 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 Oh, you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night) Stand right up and let them shoot through you" Wild Billy was a crazy cat And he shook some dust out of his coon skin 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, Janey's fingers were 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 only 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 you Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night) Stand right up and let them shoot through you 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 Davey dancin' in the moonlight Down near the water in a stoned mud fight Killer Joe passed out on the lawn Hazy Davey got really hurt He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt Me and Crazy Janey 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 Oh, you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night (all night), all night (all night) Stand right up and let them shoot through you Spirits in the night, all night Oh, you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night, all night yeah, yeah, yeah Spirits in the night, all night... Spirits in the night
