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 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)

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 travelling show
for love or money?

desire, desire
