Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
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, woo, and they dance like spirits in the night
[Chorus]
All night
In the night
All night
Oh, you don't know what they can do to ya
Spirits in the night
All night
Oh, in the night
All night
Stand right up now, and let it shoot through ya
[Verse 4]
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 your at
Or at least it'll help you really feel it"
[Verse 5]
Well 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 to loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt" she said, "Honey, let me heal it"
[Verse 6]
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
[Chorus]
All night
In the night
All night
Oh, Janey don't know what she do to ya
Like a spirit in the night
All night
Oh, all night
All night
I stand right up, and I let her shoot through me
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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 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
[Chorus]
All night
In the night
All night
Oh, you don't know what they can do to ya
And spirits in the night
All night
All night
All night
Oh, stand right up and let it shoot through you
Like a spirit in the night
[Outro]
All night
All night
All night
All night
All night
All night
All night
All night
All night
Oh, all night
All night
All night
Oh my, all night
[Outro]
The night
Spirit of the night
In the night
