Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Spirits In The Night

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 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 Davey 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
