Lover, I'm off the streets I'm gonna go where the bright lights And the big city meet With a red guitar, on fire Desire. She's the candle burnin' in my room Yeah, I'm like the needle The needle and spoon Over the counter, with a shotgun Pretty soon, everybody's got one I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her Desire Desire. And the fever, gettin' higher Desire Desire. (Burning, burning). She's the dollars She's my protection Yeah, she's the promise In the year of election. Sister I can't let you go Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show For love or money, money, money... ? And the fever, gettin' higher. Desire.
