Studio VersionLyrics: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 nightWell Billy slammed on his coaster brakes and said anybody wanna go on up to Greasy LakeIt's about a mile down on the dark side of route eighty-eightI got a bottle of rose so let's try itWe'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe and I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels goThey're built like lightand they dance like spirits in the night (all night) in the night (all night)Oh, you don't know what they can do to youSpirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night)Stand right up now and let it shoot through youWell 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 cakeI think I really dug her `cause I was too loose to fakeI said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey let me heal it".And we danced all night to a soul fairy bandand she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel canShe 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 youLike 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 threw light on Billy and Davydancin' in the moonlightThey were down near the water in a stone mud fightKiller Joe gone passed out on the lawnWell now Hazy Davy got really hurt, he ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirtMe and Crazy Janey was makin' love in the dirt singin' our birthday songsJaney said it was time to goSo we closed our eyes and said goodbye to gypsy angel row, felt so rightTogether we moved like spirits in the night, all nightBaby don't know what they can do to youSpirits in the night, all nightStand right up and let it shoot right through you

Nov 18, 2008 - I love the lyrics in this song too. Good drinking music!

Nov 18, 2008 - LOL! Gross version! Springsteen writes great songs...but sings them terribly! Leave it to Manfred Mann's Earth Band to produce the real songs... ;)

Nov 18, 2008 - awesome song. Bruce shows yet again that he is a genius in the art of writing music;
cian125 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i cant believe you actually have the ability to say that. ridicules. your obviously a fan of the hypnotic, smoothed over, shiny versions of this kind of music, not the rough, rugged, and pure versions. quite frankly, i like the smoothed over ones, but i cant listen to them over and over again. i can listen to Bruce over and over again though. its just so much more....mineral.

Nov 18, 2008 - you guys are all retreds springsteen didnt make this mannfred man ownedddddddddddddddddd it
PonzPOTF23 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Well first, if u wanna call us retards, spell it right. Second, Mannfred mann ruined the song. It was supposed to be laid back swing beat. It made the song as good as it is.
detroitWHAT17 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - uhhhhhhh i said retred for a reason you wrong know it all retred
cian125 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - -_- dude, dont even try to recover. you acting like a drunk retard, or at least a drunk, which is very possible, you wouldn't be the first drunk guy on the internet. have a glass of water, put the pain killers next to your bed for the morning, and sleep it off dude. and Bruce wrote this song, Manfred Mans earth band redid it. im going to assume your drunk so you dont end up sounding like a retard again by replying to this, so just go with it.

SidMason7 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Heh, I just happen to like the Manfred Version a bit more.. but Springsteen is pretty chill too.It just depends on the mood I'm trying to set, both songs have there own interpretation I suppose..
