Lyrics
Find another song(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

Bono: “It's about lust, ambition and sex. The lusts I have. Sometimes, I come across as if I got into U2 to save the world, whereas I got into U2 to save my own ass. ‘Desire' is my way out. In Downtown LA, South Central LA, the people have different ways out. The crack dealers, that's their escape. It's another morality, it's wrong, but I'm not passing judgement. It's their only way out. I've found mine. I'm singing about sex!”
