‘Cause there’s something in the night, a spirit in the night / Some kind of magic in the night, all through the night.

You better let that boy boogie-woogie, 'cuz it’s in him and it got to come out.

Can’t you see, oh can’t you see / That we’re living in a world of confusion.

Rock, rock, rock, rock.

When I say “spiritual groove” this is who I mean / They be at the center of this whole new scene.

Once upon a time it was cool and it was fine / To make some kind of impression with a romantic song.

Now that we’re all a bit older / Looks like we’ve reached a place to make our last stand.

I’m what you call a rock’n’roll bastard ... you either love me or you hate me.

She’s the one in that rock’n’roll song.

Hey hey hey, ho ho ho / Joey’s gone—say it ain’t so / Hey hey hey, ho ho ho / Joey’s gone, but it was too soon to go.

So you don’t know what you came in for / And you can’t take what I got in store / I’ll always be happy to show you the door ...

No more trying to merge with the mainstream / Let the mainstream merge with me.

The power is all in the music / It’s yours if you can use it right.

The sounds at the fall of night / Made us feel all right / We were dancing in the moonlight / Like spirits in the night.
