Lover, I’m on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire

She’s a candle burning in my room
Yeah I’m like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the candle with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I’m beside her
Desire
Desire

And the fever, getting higher
Desire
Desire
Burning
Burning

She’s the dollars
She’s my protection
Yeah, she’s a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can’t let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love of money, money, money
money, money, money, money, money
money, money, money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire

Desire
