Lyrics for Desire

Lover, I'm off the streets 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 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 a promise In the year of election Oh sister, I can't let you go Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show For love or money, money, money Money, money, money, money, money Money, money, money And the fever, gettin' higher Desire Desire Desire Desire Desire Desire, hey
