(yeah)

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
