[+] [+]
Yeah, lover I'm on the streets
[+] [+]
Gonna go where the bright lights and the big city meet
Dsus2 A
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
Dsus2 A
And the fever when I'm beside her
[+]
Desire, desire, baby [+]
Dsus2 A
And the fever in higher

Desire, desire [+]
Dsus2 A Dsus2 E
(Burning, burning)
[+]
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's a 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 love or money, money, money
Dsus2 A
And the fever in higher
