Bono - Desire lyrics

rate me

Lover, I'm off the streets<br />

I'm gonna go where the bright lights<br />

And the big city meet<br />

With a red guitar, on fire<br />

Desire.<br />

<br />

She's the candle burnin' in my room<br />

Yeah, I'm like the needle<br />

The needle and spoon<br />

Over the counter, with a shotgun<br />

Pretty soon, everybody's got one<br />

I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her<br />

Desire<br />

Desire.<br />

<br />

And the fever, gettin' higher<br />

Desire<br />

Desire.<br />

(Burning, burning).<br />

<br />

She's the dollars<br />

She's my protection<br />

Yeah, she's the promise<br />

In the year of election.<br />

Sister I can't let you go<br />

Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show<br />

For love or money, money, money... ?<br />

And the fever, gettin' higher.<br />

Desire.
