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
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

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
In a traveling show
For love or money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money

And the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire
