Manfred Mann Lyrics: Spirit In The Night Lyrics

Manfred Mann - Spirit In The Night

SPIRIT IN THE NIGHTManfred Mann's Earth BandCrazy Janey and her mission manWere back in the alley tradin handsLong came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man all duded up for Saturday nightWell, Billy slammed on his coaster brakesAnd said, "anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake?"It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88I got a bottle of Rose, so let's try itWe'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer JoeAnd I'll take you all out to where the Gypsy angels goThey'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 youSpirits in the night (all night)In the night (all night)Stand right up now and let them shoot through youWell now, Wild Billy was a crazy catAnd he shook some dust out of his coonskin capHe said, "trust some of this, it'll show you where it's atOr at least it'll really help you feel it"By the time we made it up to Greasy LakeI had my head out the window And Janey's fingers were in the cakeI think I really dug her cause I was too loose to fakeI said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey, let me heal it."And we danced all night to a soul fairy bandAnd she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel canShe 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 youSpirit in the night (all night) in the night (all night)Stand right up and let her shoot through meNow the night was bright and the starsThrew light on Billy and Davy dancin in the moonlightThey were down near the water in a stone mud fightKiller Joe gone passed out on the lawnWell now, Hazy Davy got really hurt, He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirtMe and crazy Janey was makin love in the dirtSingin our birthday songJaney said it ws time to go so we closed our eyesAnd said goodbye to Gypsy Angel Row, Felt so right together we moved like spirits in the night (all night)
