Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lover, I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights
Big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire
[Verse 2]
She's a candle burnin' in my room
I'm like the needle
Needle and spoon
Over the counter, with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
I'm a fever when I'm beside her
Desire
[Chorus]
Burning
Burning, baby
Burning down
[Verse 3]
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She is the promise
In the year of election
[Verse 4]
Oh, sister
Can't let you go
I'm like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travelin' show
For love or money, money
Love or money, money
Love or money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money
[Chorus]
And the fever, I can't deny her
Desire
Desire
[Outro]
All that makes the world go 'round
Money makes the world go 'round
Makes the world go 'round
Money makes the world go 'round
Really?
Written by: Adam Clayton, Bono, Larry Mullen Jr., The Edge
