Spirits In The Night Lyrics

Crazy Janey and her mission man 
Were back in the alley trading hands

Along came Wild Billy with his friend Gee 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 her shoot through me 


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 


How the night was bright and the stars threw light 
On Billy and
Davey dancing 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's making
love in the dirt 
Singing 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 
Spirits in the night 
Spirits in
the night
