Manfred Mann`s Earth Band Spirits In The Night Lyrics

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

Billy slammed on his coaster brakes, said

Anybody wanna go to Greasy Lake

It's a mile down 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 where the gypsy angels go

They're built like light and they dance like

Spirits in the Night

In the Night, all Night

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

Spirits in the Night

In the Night, all Night

Stand right up and let then shoot through you.



Wild Billy was a crazy cat

He skook some dust out of his coon skin cap

He said try some more of this it'll show you

Where you're at

Or at least it will 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 him 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

Spirits in the Night

In the Night, all Night

Janey don't know what she do to you

Spirits in the Night

In the Night, all Night

Stand right up and let her shoot through me



How the night was bright and the stars threw light

On Billy and Davey dancing int the Moonlight

Down near the water in a stoned mud fight killer Joe

Passed out on tue lawn

Hazy Davey got really hurt

He ran into the lake in just

His socks and a shirt

Me and Crazy Janey making love int 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

In the Night, all Night
