Song | Spirit in the Night |
Artist | Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band |
Album | Live 1975-85 |
Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
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 eighty-eight | |
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 it shoot through you | |
Well now Wild young 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 you're at, or at least it'll help you really 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 | |
Like a 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 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 | |
Baby don't know what they can do to you | |
Spirits in the night, all night | |
Stand right up and let it shoot right through you |
