Spirit In The Night Lyrics

SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT
Manfred 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
And said, "anybody wanna 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 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)
In the night (all night)
Stand right up now and let them
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 it's at
Or at least it'll really help you 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)
Janey don't know what she do
to you
Spirit in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand
right up and let her shoot through me
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 a shirt
Me and crazy Janey was makin love in the
dirt
Singin our birthday song
Janey said it ws 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)
