[Verse 1]
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 a candle burnin' in my room
I'm like a needle, a needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one

[Chorus]
I'm in a fever when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire

[Chorus]
And the fever gettin' higher
Desire
Desire

[Post-Chorus]
Burning, I'm burning

[Verse 3]
She's thе dollars, she's my protection
Yeah, shе's the promise in the year of election
Oh, sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show
For the love of money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
[Chorus]
And the fever's gettin' higher
Desire
Desire
