[Intro]
The night was dark
The moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
Said "Anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake?"
About a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of rose, let's try it!"

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
And they dance like spirits in the night, all night, all night
Oh baby, don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night, all night, in the night, all night
Stand up now and let it shoot through you
[Verse 3]
Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
Cried, "Trust some of this, it'll show you where you're at
Or at least it'll help you really feel it"

[Verse 4]
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
I had my head out the window and Janey's fingers in the cake
I think I really dug her, I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt," she said, "Honey let me heal it"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
She kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt just right

[Chorus]
Just as soft as a spirit in the night, all night, in the night, all night
In the night baby don't know what she do to you
Like a spirit in the night, all night, in the night
Stand up now and let her shoot right through you

[Verse 5]
Now the night grew bright and the stars threw light
On Billy and Davy dancin' in the moonlight
We were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe passed out on the lawn
[Verse 6]
And this kid Hazy Davy got really hurt
He crawled into the lake in just his socks and his shirt
Me and Crazy Janey were makin' love in the dirt
Singin' our birthday songs

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And Janey said "Hey little brother don't you think it's time now we go?"
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye
("Where'd my hat go? Is my hat down here?")
To gypsy angel row felt just right

[Chorus]
Together we moved like spirits in the night, all night, all night
Baby, you don't know what it do to you
Spirits in the night, all night, all night
Stand up now and let it shoot right through you

[Outro]
Like a spirit in the night, all that night
All that night, all that night
All that night, all that night
I got the spirit in the night
I got the spirit in the night
I got the sprit in the night
Big man!
