Spirit in the Night - Live at the Roxy Theatre, W. Hollywood, CA - July 1978

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

Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
"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 rose, 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 spirits in the night (all night), all night (all night)
Well, baby don't know what they do to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night), all night (all night)
Stand up and let them shoot through right through you"

Well Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust from out of his coonskin cap
"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 and Janey's fingers were 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"

Well we danced all night to a soul fairy band
She kissed me just right, like only a lonely angel can
Felt just right
Just as sweet as a spirit in the night (all night), all night (all night)

Well, baby don't know what they do to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night), all night (all night)
Stand up and let her shoot right through you"

Let's go!
Big man, excuse me

All 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 passed out on the lawn

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

And Janey said
"Hey little brother don't you think it's time now we go"
We closed our eyes and said goodbye
To Gypsy Angel Row
Felt just right

And we moved like spirits in the night (all night), all night (all night)
Oh baby don't know what they can do to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night), all night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through ya
Like the spirits all the night (all night), all night (all night)
All night (all night)
All night (all night)
All night (all night)
All night (all night)

Baby that's right
Like a spirit in the night
Like a spirit in the night
Like a spirit in the night
