Crazy Janey and her mission man
back in the alley [Emtradin' hands[Em7]
`Long came Wild Billy with his [em]friend G-man
duded up for Saturday night
Billy slammed on his [Emcoaster brakes[Em7]
said anybody wanna go on up to [em]Greasy Lake
It's about a mile down on the dark side of [em]Route 88
I got a bottle of rose let's try it [am7]___
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go
Built like light
And they dance like spirits in the [Emnight (all [Em7]night)
all night (all night)
Hey baby don't know what it do [Emto you[Em7]
Like a spirit in the night (all night) all night (all night)
Stand up now and let it shoot [Emthrough you
Well Wild Billy was a [Emcrazy cat[Em7]
he shook some dust out of his [Emcoonskin cap[Em7]
Cried "Trust some of this it'll [Emshow you where you're [Em7]at
at least it'll help you really feel it" [am7]___[am]
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
I had my head out the window and Janey's [Emfingers in the [Em7]cake
I think I really dug her I was [Emtoo hard to [Em7]fake
I said "I'm hurt" she said "Honey let me [am]heal it"
And we danced all night to a [am]soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
Felt just right just as sweet as a
spirit in the [Emnight (all [Em7]night)
All night (all night) hey [am]baby don't know what it do [em]to you
Like a spirit in the night (all night) all night (all night)
Stand [am]up now and let it shoot [em]through you
Huh huh... [Emhuh
Huh huh... [Emhuh
Now the night grew bright the stars threw light on Billy and Davy
Dancin' in the moonlight
They were down near the water in a [Emstone mud fight[Em7]
Killer Joe'd passed out on the lawn
Hazy Davy he got [em]really hurt
he crawled into the lake in just his [Emsocks and a shirt[Em7]
Me and Crazy Janey were makin' [Emlove in the dirt
singin' our birthday songs
Janey said "It was time we go"
So we closed our eyes and said goodbye to gypsy angel row
felt so right
Together we moved like spirits in the [Emnight (all [Em7]night)
all night (all night)
Oh [am]baby don't know what it do [Emto you[Em7]
Like a spirit in the [Emnight (all [Em7]night) all night (all night)
Stand up now and let it shoot [Emthrough you[Em7]
Like spirits in the night (all night) all night (all night)
all night (all night) all [Emnight (all [Em7]night)
all night (all night) all night (all night)
Huh huh... [Emhuh
