Spirit in the Night (Live at Brendan Byrne Arena, East Rutherford, NJ - 08/20/1984)

Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley trading hands
'Long came Wild Billy with his friend G-Man
Duded up for Monday night

Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
Said, "Anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake?
'Bout a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
Yeah, I got a bottle of rose, let's try it

We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
Built like light

Ooh, and they dance like spirits in the night (all night)
All night (all night)
Baby, don't know what it do to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night)
All night (all night)
Stand right up and let it shoot through you

Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust from his coonskin cap
Cried, "Trust some of this, it'll show you where you're at
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, Janey's fingers in the cake
Think I really dug her, I was too loose to fake
Said, "I'm hurt," she said, "Honey, let me heal it"

We danced all night to a soul fairy band
She kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
Felt so right

Just as soft as a spirit in the night (all night)
All night (all night)
Stand right up and let it shoot through you
Like a spirit in the night (all night)
All night (all night)
Baby, don't know what it do to you
Yeah, darling

The night grew bright, 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 gone passed out on the lawn

Well, Hazy Davy got really hurt
He crawled into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and Crazy Janey were makin' love in the dirt
Singin' our birthday songs

Then Janey said it was time to go
We closed our eyes, said goodbye
To gypsy angel row, felt just right

Together we moved like spirits in the night (all night)
All night (all night)
Baby, don't know what it do to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night)
All night (all night)
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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Ooh, now, baby
Like a spirit in the night
Like a spirit in the night
Like a spirit in the night

Now you see 'em
