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

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 or election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a travelling show
For love or money, money...?
Desire...
