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 counter 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 or money money money money money money money money money money money And the fever, getting higher Desire, desire desire, desire Desire, desire
