Verse 1
 
Yeah, lover I'm off the streets 
Gonna go where the bright lights 
And the big city meet 
With a red guitar, on fire 
Desire 
 
Verse 2
 
She's the candle 
Burning in my room 
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 
 
(Burning, Burning) 
 
Verse 3
 
She's the dollars 
She's my protection 
She's the promise 
In the year of election 
Sister, I can't let you go 
I'm like a preacher 
Stealing hearts at a traveling show 
For the love or money, money...? 
Desire...
