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
