SPIRIT IN THE NIGTH

Lyrics By 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 88

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 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

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
