LYRICS FOR "Desire"

Yeah
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 burnin' in my room
Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire
Really

And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire
Burnin', burnin'

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 stealin' hearts at a travelin' show
For love or money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money

And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire
Desire, desire

Desire, desire
Oh really!
