[C]Crazy Janey and her [em]mission man[em7]
   [D]back in the alley [em]tradin' hands[em7]
`Long came [C]Wild Billy with his [em]friend G-man[em7]
   [D]duded up for Saturday [am]night
[C]Billy slammed on his [em]coaster brakes[em7]
   said any[D]body wanna go on up to [em]Greasy Lake[em7]
It's about a [C]mile down on the dark side of [em]Route 88[em7]
I got a [D]bottle of rose let's [am]try it [am7]___[am]
We'll pick [C]up Hazy Davy and [am]Killer Joe
   I'll [D]take you all out to where the [Dsus]gypsy angels go [D]
Built like light [Dsus]
And they [D]dance like spirits in the [em]night (all [em7]night)
   all [D]night (all night)
Hey [am]baby don't know what it do [em]to you[em7]
Like a spirit in the [em]night (all [em7]night) all [D]night (all night)
Stand [am]up now and let it shoot [em]through you

Well [C]Wild Billy was a [em]crazy cat[em7]
   he [D]shook some dust out of his [em]coonskin cap[em7]
Cried [C]"Trust some of this it'll [em]show you where you're [em7]at
   at [D]least it'll  help you really [am]feel it" [am7]___[am]
By the [C]time we made it up to [em]Greasy Lake[em7]
   I had my [D]head out the window and Janey's [em]fingers in the [em7]cake
I [C]think I really dug her I was [em]too hard to [em7]fake
I said "I'm [D]hurt" she said "Honey let me [am]heal it"
And we [C]danced all night to a [am]soul fairy band
And she [D]kissed me just right like only a [Dsus]lonely angel can [D]
Felt just right [Dsus] just as [D]sweet as a
   spirit in the [em]night (all [em7]night)
All [D]night (all night) hey [am]baby don't know what it do [em]to you
Like a spirit in the night (all [em7]night) all [D]night (all night)
Stand [am]up now and let it shoot [em]through you

[am]Huh huh... [em]huh
[am]Huh huh... [em]huh

Now the [C]night grew bright the [em]stars threw [em7]light on [D]Billy and Davy
   [em]Dancin' in the moon[em7]light
They were [C]down near the water in a [em]stone mud fight[em7]
Killer [D]Joe'd passed out on the [am]lawn
[C]Hazy Davy he got [em]really hurt[em7]
   he [D]crawled into the lake in just his [em]socks and a shirt[em7]
[C]Me and Crazy Janey were makin' [em]love in the dirt
   [D]singin' our birthday [am]songs
[C]Janey said "It was [am]time we go"
So we [D]closed our eyes and said goodbye to [Dsus]gypsy angel row [D]
   felt so right [Dsus]
Together we [D]moved like spirits in the [em]night (all [em7]night)
   all [D]night (all night)
Oh [am]baby don't know what it do [em]to you[em7]
Like a spirit in the [em]night (all [em7]night) all [D]night (all night)
Stand [am]up now and let it shoot [em]through you[em7]
Like spirits in the night (all night) all [D]night (all night)
   all [am]night (all night) all [em]night (all [em7]night)
   all night (all night) all [D]night (all night)
   [am]Huh huh... [em]huh

Bruce Springsteen - Spirit In The Night (Original)
Studio Version 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 eighty-eight I got a bottle of rose so 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) in the night (all night) Oh, you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night) Stand right up now and let it shoot through you Well now Wild young Billy was a crazy cat and he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap. He said, "Trust some of this it'll show you where you're at, or 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 `cause I was too 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). Janey don't know what she do to you Like a spirit in the night (all night), in the night (all night) Stand right up and let her shoot through me. Now the night was bright and the stars ...
