Crazy Janey and Her Mission Man were
back in the allley 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 up to Greasy Lake
Its about a mile down the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of rose so lets try it
Well pick up hazy davy and killer joe
And ill take you all out to where the
gypsy angels go
THEY BUILT LIKE LIGHT
AND THEY DANCE LIKE SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT
all night in the night all night
oh you dont know what the can do to you
SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT
all night in the night all night
stand up right now and let them shoot through you

Well now wild billy was a crazy cat
and shook some dust out of his coon skin cap
He said trust some of this itll show
you where your at or at least itll
help you really feel it
Buy 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 because i was to loose to fake

I said Im 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 you dont know what she would do to you
LIKE A SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT
all night in the night all night
stand right up and let it 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
having 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 his shirt
Me and Crazy Janey was makin love in the dirt
singin our birthday song
Janey said it was time to go so
we closed our eyes and said goodbye
to gypsy angel row
felt so right
together we move like SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT
all night in the night all night
Oh you don't know what they can do to you
them spirits in the night
all night all night all night
oh stand right up and let it shot through you
like a spirit in the night
all night all night all night all night all night all night all night
all night all night all night all night all night
