Bruce Springsteen - Spirit in the Night lyrics

[Bruce Springsteen - Spirit in the Night lyrics]

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 spirit's in the night
(All night) in the night (All night)
Oh, you don't know what they can do to you
Spirit's 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, "Try 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)
Oh Janey don't know what she do to you
Like a spirit in the night
(All night) , all 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 spirit's in the night
(All night) , in the night (All night)
Baby don't know what they can do to you
Spirit's 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
(All night) , all night (All night)
All night (All night) , all night (All night)
All night (All night) , all night (All night)
All night, all night all night
