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 88
I got a bottle of rosé lets 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 ya
Spirits in the night
(All night) oh every night (all night)
Stand right up now and let it shoot through ya
Well now wild young billy was a crazy cat
And he ssome dust out of his coonskin cap
He said trust some of this it'll show you where your at
Or at least it'll help you really feel it
Well 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 because I was to 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 bab don't know what she do to ya'
Like a spirit in the night
(All night) all night (all night)
Stand right up now 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
Having a stoned mud fight
Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn
This boy 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 song
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) every night (all night)
Oh you don't know what they do to ya'
Them spirits in the night
(All night) all night (all night)
Stand right up and let it shoot through ya'
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
Them spirits in the night
(All night) all night (all night)
Them spirits in the night
(All night) all night (all night)
Them spirits in the night
(All night) all night (all night)
