Spirit In The Night Lyrics - Live: 1975-85 (3cd) - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

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 want to go on up to Greasy Lake? 

It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88 

I got a bottle of rosé 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 build 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 up right now and let them shoot through you" 

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 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 

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 his 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), in the night (all night)..
